Hi,
Thanks for your comments. But I do not know how to get (or make) the pdb file if it is not made (let say for a new system). Are you using special software to do that to make a pdb or gro file, before starting the simulation?

That's going to depend entirely upon what that system is. Building a protein or peptide is not so trivial. Building a small molecule is fairly straightforward using programs like PRODRG (online) or xLeap (part of AmberTools).

That said, if your goal is to simulate some arbitrary small molecules, the previous advice of using pdb2gmx will not apply. You will have to build the topologies yourself.

Another thing: It is not possible for me to open some web-pages that users are referring to (some of them are crucial to get the answer)!! Did you face with the same problem or there is new web-address for them??

If you cite some examples, maybe someone can point you in the right direction. The Gromacs webpage is currently migrating to a new site; old webpages can be accessed by appending "old" to the URL, i.e. http://oldwww.gromacs.org is the old home page.

Thanks for your help,

    Hi,

    If I understood your question, do you want to know how can you start
    a simulation? So, if I'm correct I recommend this link
    http://www.gromacs.org/WIKI-import/Main_Page/Beginners to you. In
    this link, there is flowsheet file which is the flowchart to Gromacs
    simulation.

Answered your question a little more specific, although basically, after you get the pdb file, you need to run the pdb2gmx program. The
    link above explains more details about it.

    I hope that this email helped you.

    Cheers,

        Hi,

        I have a basic question (since I am new). For starting any
        simulation as I understand, is to find a .pdb or .gor file. Pdb
        files for proteins are already there, but for a new system what
        is the easiest and quick way to find it (which software etc).
        What about .gro files?????

        I appreciate your help for solve my basic problems.

        Thanks, Jamie
