Dear Yujie Liu,
Can I clarify your suggestions?
copy gly.gro into protein.gro and changed the number of atoms:
) After running "gmx insert-molecules -ci gly.gro -nmol 10 -f
protein_newbox.gro -o protein_glycine.gro",
the "protein_glycine.gro" already contains both protein residues and glycine
ones, with 10 glycines following the proteins residues, as if they belong to a
same molecule as shown below, so I can assume it is already copied as you
suggested?
(.. protein residues from 1 to 442)
442ALAHB1 6611 2.350 3.446 6.215
442ALAHB2 6612 2.294 3.373 6.080

Then using #include?? ?? lines to add gly.itp into protein.top in suitable
position
) Do you mean in the protein.top file, change
; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre_protein.itp"
#endif
into
; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre_protein.itp"
#include "posre_gly.itp"
#endif

changed [molecules] options to add the name and number of gly molecule. Note
the information of posre_gly.itp.
) Do you mean in the protein.top file, change
[ molecules ]
; Compound#mols
Protein_chain_L 1
into
[ molecules ]
; Compound#mols
Protein_chain_L 1 (the "Protein_chain_L" refers to the protein)
Protein 10 (the "Protein" refers to the glycine)

Subject: How to configure the gro/itp/top files after running
"insert-molecules"?
Dear Gromacs,
I am doing a MD for a protein with glycines.
For glycine, I use
) gmx pdb2gmx -f gly_clean.pdb -o gly.gro -water spce -inter
and got
) gly.gro
) posre_gly.itp
) topol_gly.top
For protein, I use
) gmx pdb2gmx -f protein.pdb -o protein_processed.gro -water spce -inter -ignh
-merge interactive
) gmx editconf -f protein_processed.gro -o protein_newbox.gro -c -d 1.0 -bt
cubic
and got
) protein_processed.gro
) posre_protein.itp
) topol_protein.top
) protein_newbox.gro
Then, I add glycines to the protein box:
) gmx insert-molecules -ci gly.gro -nmol 10 -f protein_newbox.gro -o
protein_glycine.gro
and got
) protein_glycine.gro, in which the 10 glycines were appended to the protein
residues, as if they belong to the same protein molecule (is this normal?)
Can I ask,
1) How can I configure the itp and top files (i.e. posre_gly.itp,
topol_gly.top, posre_protein.itp, topol_protein.top), so as to proceed my MD
setting-up? E.g. should I combine them into one itp and one top file, how to do
that?
2) Then, I will fill the box with water, then add Na+/Cl- ions, then energy
minimization. Is this the correct procedure?
Thank you.
Yours sincerely
Cheng
