Dear Peterson, There's no magic wand for this. You'll need to find out pKa values of titrable amino acids in your protein (in literature, MEAD software, etc.). Then, you can protonate (pHpKa) / deprotonate (pHpKa) those group according to the pH. -G On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 12:33 PM, J Peterson

Hi Satya, You can use trjorder to rearrange solvent molecules in your structure file, according to distance. Then you can replace the first x solvent molecules by hydroxyl. Actually you only need to remove a hydrogen atom per water... Hope it helps, Tsjerk On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 5:04 AM,

Thanks Tsjerk for your guidance. In fact, I had been removing some H atoms from the water molecules (which are close to DNA by choosing them manually depending on the coordinates which is a tedious process) to convert them to OH. Then, I try to input this file to Lammps applying Reaxff

Hello Tsjerk, I was wondering, once we order the water molecules and place Oh radicals in the system, do we loose the continuity of their trajectories when we run the simulations using Lammps? With Regards, Satya. -- View this message in context:
