Thanks so far. the protein and the one dna strand are now regarded to be one molecule, but it is the wrong strand of the dna and i do not know who to tell pdb2gmx to use not this but the other dna strand which has a 4 bases overlap with which is is bound to the tyrosine OH is there anybody who has a suggestion that may help me fix this ? thank you so much joe

It will now generate the bond and treat your complex as a single molecule and generate a topology for that molecule. > yours > joe > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > gmx-users mailing list [email protected] > http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users > Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
