Dear users,

I would be most thankful for any comment or advice on the following problems:

1. I'm running GROMACS 4.04 with amber V_4.0. /amber99sb forcefield. While executing the pdb2gmx command as: pdb2gmx -f 1bgq.pdb -water tip3p -his the -his option does not work regardless of the choice in the protonation state

2. Is there any way to change the protonation state not via an interacticve mode and thus to enable to run the pdb2gmx in an automatic way(echo 10 | pdb2gmx ... | -his echo 2 will not work of course)


Point #10 in the ffamber "Installation and Testing" section:

You can solve all protonation issues by having the right residue names to start. The Gromacs conventions for, e.g. histidine, are HISA, HISB, and HISH. For Amber, the corresponding residue names are HID, HIE, and HIP. If you go through your .pdb file and re-name residues in advance, the proper protonation states will be assigned. This also applies to any other titratable residues, and termini, which must be prefixed with N and C.

Thanks a lot
