[gmx-users] Creating cyclic peptides

[Easton J.W.]

Thanks Justin,


Is there anyway of getting it to work using an AMBER forcefield as well?


Kind regards,


James

pdb2gmx doesn't like to deal with cyclic peptides. You can probably make
it work but the easier approach (if you want to use the CHARMM force
field) is to build the topology with the online CHARMM-GUI server.
