Hi, if you are able to define atom couples able to mantein the structure of your complex, you can insert in .top file a set of bond using function 6 (see table at pag 125 of the user manual). For example, let atom 1 and 100 are at distance 0.6nm, you can insert in .top a row like 1 100 6 0.6 1000

[gmx-users] constraints between protein ligand - metal chelation

2012-05-19 Thread R.S.K.Vijayan
Dear Gromacs users I was wondering if there exists any technique that sets distance restraint between specified ligand (atoms) and the protein(atoms) in Gromacs. I am simulating a system which contains metal ions coordinated to the Ligand. I looked in to the mailing list and Gromacs manual and

Re: [gmx-users] constraints between protein ligand - metal chelation

2012-05-19 Thread Peter C. Lai
Is there a particular reason why the ligand has been parameterized as a separate moleculetype from the protein in your case? I prefer to treat coordination bonds as real bonds instead of relying on electrostatic interactions anyway, since it is the only way to conservatively ensure the

Many thanks for your response. No special reasons for parametrizing the ligand and the protein as a separate system. I dont think that the ligand and protein can be parametrized as a single system, but will definitely try doing it as a single system and see if it works. Regards Vijayan.R On Sat,
