Subject: Re: [gmx-users] missing atoms
Hi Ninoo,

GROMACS will definitely give you warnings over missing atoms, but won't to the
best of my knowledge replace them as David pointed out. Try downloading swiss
PDB viewer (www.expasy.org/spdbv/), once you load up your structure it will  
prompt you re. the missing atoms.

When you say missing atoms...I presume you mean missing side chain atoms...if
you have missing alpha carbons in your structure then I suggest you need to
start thinking about homology modelling!

If you are lucky enough to have access to insightII in your lab, then you can
use that package.

You should check for bad contacts once you have put in your missing atoms,
perhaps do a short cycle of steepest descent energy minimization with GROMACS!?

Hope that helps

cheers

Kia

Are you sure? I'm not aware of such a feature.
