[gmx-users] pdb2gmx and the terminal residue

2015-04-25 Thread Brett
Dear All,
 
For the pdb2gmx, if I will not assign charges to the N-terminal residue and 
C-terminal residue, I need to use pdb2gmx -ter, or I need to use pdb2gmx 
-[no]ter?
 
In addition, whether there will be charges at the  N-terminal residue and 
C-terminal residue has relation with the force field used,  am I right?

The -ter option allows you to choose protonation state or no terminal processing 
if there are caps.

I don't understand this question.  The individual partial charges on the atoms 
are indeed a function of the force field, but the choice of protonation state or 
capping is totally independent of the force field and is dictated by biological 
relevance.
