Hi users,
To answer Mark's question about reading section 3.2. Yes I
have.I wish to conduct an SMD study.I want to place my
protein system at one end of the longest side of triclinic
shell and then pull parallel to the longest side.
Yang I have used both pymol and VMD for visualization
Tsjerk when i dont use the -d option the box is created with
the protein completely outside the box and at a distance. I
was therefore thinking of either the -d option or -c option.
I dont want to center my protein in the box but keep it as
far as possible (allowing buffer) on one side of the
rectangle so that I can pull through the solvent using
SMD..for the editconf i get a message that the box type was
not defined although i have given -bt triclinic.
see below
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bcl2/solvation> editconf -f two.pdb -o
three.pdb -d 0.9 -box 20 10 10 -bt triclinic

WARNING: No boxtype specified - distance condition applied

If the molecule rotates the actual distance will be smaller.
You might want
to use a cubic box instead, or why not try a dodecahedron
today?
Back Off! I just backed up three.pdb to ./#three.pdb.1#
