Dear Users: I have a system with an 8-mer peptide in a box of water. After a 2-ns npt equilibration, I run 100 ns of nvt at various temperatures (300-800 K) in preparation for a REMD simulation. I am using velocity langevin for temperature control. Everything is fine for =600 K. Above that,

Dear Cheng: You can define protonation states like this: echo 0 1 2 | pdb2gmx -ff amber99sb-ildn -water tip3p -his That will give you, in order for three HIS residues: 0. H on ND1 only (HID) 1. H on NE2 only (HIE) 2. H on ND1 and NE2 (HIP) You can also use -inter, but you'll need to do a

You might see if CHARMM_GUI has parameters for it. This is not to say that they will be amazing parameters, as I have not looked into their approach to generate parameters and it may well be rational cut and paste, but they do have parameters for loads of lipids. If they don't have parameters,
