[gmx-users] simulation of a protein including calcium ion

Dear Justin thanks for your attention in my case calcium ion is bonded to 4 oxygen atoms of C=O group of protein. yes, Calcium ions are present in nearly all the force fields in Gromacs. but there are only parameters in * nb.itp and not in * bon.itp. how to obtain these new parameters for my

Hi I think it is a typical ligand in your pdb file.what do you think? if it be a ligand you can use PRODRG server to make topology file for your ligand and you must edit other files. please read this article: GROMACS Tutorial for Drug – Enzyme Complex best mohsen On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 11:32 AM,

Dear Leila Ok,But you have to separate your ions from your general pdb file(protein+ions) in the form of pdb, in the other words you need to obtain the pdb files for your ions separately and then paste it to PRODRG server.because your protein has more than 300 atoms alonly. I hope it can help you

Hi, Do mind that calcium binding may involve (quantum) effects that are ill captured by classical force fields. If the binding site plays a central role in your research question, this may be problematic. Cheers, Tsjerk On Oct 16, 2010 2:34 PM, Justin A. Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu wrote: leila
