Hi,

If I use -ignh, that will ignore all the hydrogens in my input. And these hydrogens are added by the gromacs.in <http://gromacs.in> the first step of creating the top file.


What is gromacs.in? Perhaps it would be best if you showed us, step by step, what you are doing (with *exact* command lines). Using pdb2gmx should be your first step, and using -ignh will indeed ignore your hydrogen atoms, but it looks like they're named incorrectly anyway, so that might be a good thing. Part of the function of pdb2gmx is to add back the appropriate hydrogens according to residue templates, so it's irrelevant what you have in the input; it's going to be replaced with correct hydrogen atoms anyway.

        Dear Tsjerk,

        Thanks for the suggestion but when I use -merge command it
        says segmentation error. Let me put the problem in a more
        elaborated way.

        I am running this simulation on insulin. It has two chains "a"
        and "b" which are independent fragments but there are two
        inter disulphide bonds between the two chains. If I  keep the
        two chains as a single molecule (as -merge command does)
        gromacs could recognize the inter dishlphide bonds but while
        running the following error appears:

           396    398  113.3    0.1470   0.2974      0.1470

        Range checking error:
        Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle
        to a grid
        based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions
        or parameter
        errors that give particles very high velocities you might end
        up with some
        coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously,
        we cannot
        put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those
        errors.
        Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that
        the potential
        energy seems reasonable before trying again.

    When do you get this error (i.e., minimization, equilibration,
    production)?  Usually this type of error comes up from a poorly
    minimized/equilibrated structure.
    I agree with Tsjerk that using -merge is the right way to form
    your disulfide, so I assume something else is going wrong during
    your system preparation.  If you'd like to provide details on what
    you're doing in terms of minimization/equilibration, and the
    contents of the relevant .mdp files, we may be able to detect
    problems.

    -Justin

        Where as, if I keep these two as separate molecules it couldnt
        recognize the two inter disulphide bonds but its running. Now
        it is adding hydrogens to the sulhur atoms.

        Is there any way to fix this problem ? Is there any way to
        edit the topology file to remove the added hydrogen atoms ?

        Thanks
        Ram.

           Hi Ram,

           Check the option -merge of pdb2gmx.
