Re: [gmx-users] sphere around a protein

Hi Justin, Revisiting some of the calculations I had tried to do few days back. Just as a recap I am trying to build a sphere around the protein. As you had suggested in the last messgae of this thread to make a new directory. I did that. I used the following commands: editconf -f 1li.gro

Hi Justin, Thanks a lot! Things worked. Now I, however, have a different problem in extension to what I am doing. I was able to created a sphere of water and methanol around a polypeptide and 1 Li+ ion. editconf -f 1li.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o onlyli.gro genbox -cp onlyli.gro -cs mix.gro

Hi, Please correct me if I am wrong. In that case then, I will have polyhisitine in the box size 12 12 12 and then If I add dhb anions and Li cations, they will be placed randomly in the box. When I add then the 1 Li cation, water methanol sphere, how is it necessary it will cover/solvate all

Hi Justin and other gmx-users, I want to make a sphere around a protein (5nm).with Li ions and anions. Justin, as you had suggested to use genbox -shell option, I tried using it but i realized that since my protein is a long tube like structure, the shell option generated a cyclinder around the
