In terms of external software, check out OpenBabel: http://openbabel.org/wiki/Main_Page
There's also the H++ server, which employs Babel as part of its algorithm: http://biophysics.cs.vt.edu/H++/index.php I believe H++ can handle nucleic acids. You could also do all of this with Gromacs, if you can come up with relevant entries in the .hdb file for your particular force field. Then pdb2gmx could produce the right structure with added hydrogens. -Justin Quoting Arijit Maitra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi All > > I have been trying to simulate a DNA tetramer > d(GGGGTTTTGGGG)_2 using gromacs with amber ports.
