Hey



Apologies for not being clearer, the NDG is from the crystal structure, the 
post CHARMM-GUI now outputs that residue as BGLC, however, this is also not 
recognised when I run gmx2pdb.



I have up to step 5 of the CHARMM-GUI, is there a way of inputting this to 
Gromacs without going through the GMX gmx2pdb process?


Doesn't CHARMM-GUI give you a GROMACS topology?

BGLC is a valid residue in CHARMM so without the actual screen output and error message, there's not much to suggest. The main problem is one intrinsic to pdb2gmx - it's not good at branched polymers. You'll have what it thinks is a discontinuous chain of protein and sugar residues, which you might be able to link/patch via specbond.dat but that requires a lot of work. It's very easy to set up in CHARMM (which is all CHARMM-GUI is doing on the backend).

Hey
I am trying to do some MD of a glycoprotein, I've inputted the glycans through 
Charm-GUI online, but when I try to run simulations using any of the amber or 
charm forcefields, it throws up the error does not recognise NDG. My glycan 
pattern is:
N-Acetylglucosamine, N-Acetylglucosamine, Mannose (branch) (Mannose, N 
Acetylglucosamine, Galactose ) x2
How do I modify the input files to overcome this, or is there a different 
forcefield I should be using?


What is NDG? There is no such residue or patch in the CHARMM force field

so I don't know why CHARMM-GUI produced any file with such a residue name.
