Hi Justin,
Thanks for your support. I am new user of Gromacs. Can you provide some
information about binding of peptides with the small molecule causing a
PTM event?
Again, the question you ask is far too broad to really elicit a useful response.
I know nothing about what you're trying to do, but this is not really the
forum for anyone to tell you how to do your research.
Usually, when one thinks of the influence of small molecules on
post-translational modifications (again, assuming that's what you mean by PTM),
the process involves some sort of event where the small molecule binds a
receptor or target enzyme, which may then become modified itself, and then exert
its effect (catalyze a reaction on a substrate). Perhaps you can look at some
sorts of small molecule-enzyme binding and/or enzyme-substrate binding, but
certainly MD is not capable of modeling any sort of pathway, and classical MD
(as I said before) cannot handle any sort of reaction that might occur.

options to select two peptides with one or more having PTM via small

Your series of questions is extremely broad, especially the use of
the phrase "Gromacs analysis." What do you mean? Do you wish to
study the effect of a post-translational modification (PTM) on
peptide aggregation? Or binding studies of peptides and nucleic acid?
In theory, you can set up just about anything you want. Gromacs is
versatile like that. If you're looking at covalent PTM events, then
no, you can't do it with classical mechanics, which does not allow
for bond breaking or forming. If you want to study the effects of
small molecules on aggregation, that's also possible. The
conditions depend entirely upon what's known about such a system.
If you ask a more focused, specific question, you're more likely to
get a real answer.
