I've been having trouble minimizing a structure using gromacs so I decided to try using another MD app and see if I can generate a more relaxed structure. Using VMD & NAMD I was able to minimize and run MD for this structure from RCSB.ORG 1YQW.pdb. It was solvated and ionized.
I then took the last frame from a 10,000 step trajectory and exported it into a pdb file. I preped it so it was compatible with amber99sb port for gromacs read it into tleap using amebr99sb and wrote a pdb file from that Then fixed residues so it it was compatible with gromac pdb2gmx -ff amber99sb -f protein2.pdb -water spce -ignh editconf -bt triclinic -f conf.gro -d 1.0 genbox -cp out.gro -cs ffamber_tip3p.gro grompp -f em.mdp echo 13 |genion -s topol.tpr -neutral -conc 0.15 -p topol.top grompp -f em.mdp -c out.gro mdrun -s topol.tpr -v Back Off! I just backed up md.log to ./#md.log.2# Getting Loaded... Reading file topol.tpr, VERSION 4.0.5 (single precision) Loaded with Money Back Off! I just backed up traj.trr to ./#traj.trr.2# Back Off!
