Dear Gromacs users, I was trying to run a simulation using a protein of 123 aa long and wanted to adjust the density to 993.04g/l so with the following command I ran the editconf:
editconf -f conf.pdb -o box.pdb -bt cubic -d 0.8 -density 997.0479 Its output was as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------- . . Read 1842 atoms Volume: 115.734 nm^3, corresponds to roughly 52000 electrons No velocities found system size : 3.370 4.749 4.270 (nm) diameter : 4.979 (nm) center : 1.646 1.395 2.422 (nm) box vectors : 4.707 6.445 3.815 (nm) box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) box volume : 115.73 (nm^3) Volume of input 115.734 (nm^3) Mass of input 42476.2 (a.m.u.) Density of input 609.444 (g/l) Scaling all box vectors by 0.848671 new system size : 2.860 4.030 3.624 shift : 1.893 2.106 1.234 (nm) new center : 3.289 3.289 3.289 (nm) new box vectors : 6.579 6.579 6.579 (nm) new box angles : 90.00 90.00 90.00 (degrees) new box volume : 284.70 (nm^3) .... --------------------------------------------------------------- My doubt here is it says that the Mass of input is 42476.2 (a.m.u.), but the mass of protein is 13795.4 Da (according to the protparam with sequence input). I am not sure whether protparam takes into account hydrogens. Even with the inclusion of hydrogens (885), the molecular weight will still be 14686.49Da. So how is 42476.2 a.m.u. comes?
