[gmx-users] [BULK][EXT] Re: PDB code

[Smith, Iris]

Hi Nick,

I think the big question is what are you trying to simulate – what is your goal? It is critical that you now your protein (e.g. how was it crystalized, any missing atoms, missing residues, hetero atoms, ligands). I think prior to building your system you should first understand your goal and get a stronger foundation on MDS as well as the forcefiled you require to model your system, this will help you better understand the flags for each gmx command.

I would start with first reading the gromacs manual and re-reading the reference paper associated with your PDB. Present your hypothesis and goal(s) to your colleagues – this will help you formulate a hypothesis-driven project.

Subject: [BULK][EXT] Re: [gmx-users] PDB code

Sorry, i have just removed C,D chains by pymol and then started
simulating(without adding any terminal or H,...)... but after grompp, the
system had charges and were not integer. Is it because of i didn't add
terminals? I use AMBER99SB forcefield and as you know it doesn't work with
-ter but i have read paper which is said( that's my reference paper);
" Residues B23-B30 were
removed from insulin 43 residues. The C-terminal carboxyl groups and all
the charged residues were set to be
protonated to simulate the protein structures under acidic conditions.
Parameterized force field parameters for
protonated C-terminal carboxyl groups were used (Hong et al., 2012)."
What does it mean "protonated" ? How they add H when they have used AMBER
forcefield?
Would you please help me?

Best regards
