Hi,

So, I did as suggested. Ran PRODRG the first time using the JME Editor and took the pdb file from this. Then I added the ADDHYD OAE underneath (actually it doesn't matter which O (OAD or OAE) is protonated as long as it is only one of them).

The first bit of output looked encouraging...

PRODRG> PDB mode detected.
PRODRG> Molecule complexity index: 2.00.
PRODRG> Added hydrogen on atom OAE .
PRODRG>  18 hydrogen(s) added.
PRODRG> Using charge groups.
PRODRG> Net charge on molecule:   0.000
PRODRG>  20 partial charges      0 ambiguous
PRODRG> Cannot assign type to atom ' OAE'.
ERRDRG> Error in GROMOS atom names/types.
PRODRG> Program terminated unsuccessfully, sorry!

So it understood that I wanted a hydrogen and the net charge is at last 0(usually -1 without that hydrogen) but then it crashes! I don't understand why it can't assign a type to OAE. IS it because a hydrogen is now attached so the hybridisation has changed from sp2 to sp3?

Do I need to change the identity of OAE before putting a hydrogen on? If so to what?

Thanks

Jenny

ADDHYD OAE








Quoting "Justin A. Lemkul" <jalem...@vt.edu>:


You need to run PRODRG twice.  The first time, do not use ADDHYD.  Make
note of the atom names that PRODRG assigns.  Then run PRODRG a second
time, using ADDHYD with the atom name that PRODRG uses for the O atom
you want protonated.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your answer. The ADDHYD in the FAQ sounds like exactly what I need however I can't get this command to work. I draw in my molecule using the JME editor and get this .pdb file in the PRODRG window.

If I then try adding ADDHYD O to the window and clicking "run PRODRG" I get the following:

ERRDRG> Atom 'O' referenced in instruction was not found.
PRODRG> Program terminated unsuccessfully, sorry!

I've then tried renaming O to OM as there are 2 Os in my structure and I only want one protonated. However, no other name is recognized so I get this message:

ERRDRG> Currently only N, C, O, S, P, Cl, Br, F, I are supported.
PRODRG> Program terminated unsuccessfully, sorry!

Next I tried using the PDB generated by PRODRG and repasting it with the ADDHYD command into the PRODRG window.

Now the pdb looks like this:

I've tried changing the HETATM to OM and using ADDHYD OM and then played around with various other things like renaming the atom symbol at the end of the line and even the OAD, DRG but I always get the following:

ERRDRG> Atom 'OM' referenced in instruction was not found.
PRODRG> Program terminated unsuccessfully, sorry!

I am using the PRODRG beta server available online at

http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/cgi-bin/prodrg_beta

Will I fare any better if I use the source code or is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Does the ADDHYD have to be added in any particular location of the pdb file? I have tried a few random positions including at the very top, very bottom and just beneath the O to be protonated. Nothing worked.

Any ideas much appreciated,

Jenny

Hi,

I am trying to get a .itp file for a simple molecule (Ibuprofen). This contains a COOH group.

THe problem is that PRODRG removes the polar hydrogen of the COOH from the .pdb file and generates a .itp file without it.

I am not concerned about the other aromatic hydrogens but I really need the polar hydrogen modelled explicitly.

Is there a fix for this within PRODRG?

I know I can use pdb2gmx to add hydrogens but the residue names of the pdb file are not recognized by the existing forcefields so I usually bypass using pdb2gmx.



Have a look at the PRODRG FAQ - there's an entry there for modifying
protonation state.
