        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. Is the result of using these programs a pdb file or gro...... would you please explain a little bit?

The documentation of each program will explain the output formats.

The systems that I want to simulate are fullerene and CNT. But before

Then neither PRODRG nor xLeap will be of use to you; xLeap might work, but it's probably about the hardest way to do it :)

that I will simulate a box of water, spce. In this case is it ok to use spc216.pdb (??) or I should use the programs you mentioned?

Use spc216.gro - it's a pre-equilibrated box that is suitable for use in further simulations.

Sorry for these simple questions......



        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 <http://oldwww.gromacs.org/> is the old
    home page.

For example I checked http://www.gromacs.org/WIKI-import/PRODRG as you mentioned, but I can not open links on the page. All of them (check force field for example) can not open with like this message "Site settings could not be loaded"...

Use Google to search for PRODRG; the link in the wiki article is incorrect. But as I said above, for your purposes, PRODRG is not useful.

Is it the page I should use to get a pdb file for my system?? I really appreciate if you let me know the exact web-address to use PRODRG or xLeap (?).

Use Google to find things.

This page is probably where you will want to start:

http://www.gromacs.org/WIKI-import/Carbon_Nanotube

Thanks a lot,

           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
