[gmx-users] is there any special tutorial for the interaction of nanosheet and amino acids?

[Rose]

Oh,you mean that i should make My sheet then just optimize it(with out putting charge) and then convert it to .pdb file and use it in MD as an input? I have checked the literature the suitable FF was amber99.
Different question;) , what is the difference between using vaccum gap (that Will be implemented in structure.xyz file) and using smaller box with periodic boundry condition(with out using vaccum gap),are they related to each other at all?!!!
Sorry for these childish questions,but I really get confused.

With regards
Roja
