Dear Gromacs list
I am trying to calculate the surface area for my DNA-protein complex
using do_dssp or g_sas. But when I convert the pdb file to *.gro file,
the topology file *.top has only protein molecule and DNA is not
included, how can I edit the topology file and include DNA in order to
be recognizable for the system. I tried the do_dssp but the surface area
for DNA has not been calculated. It should be noted that my DNA has
double strand consists of 8 nucleotides. Is it necessary to include 2
DNA in molecule type section of topology file?
Yes. If you ran any simulation, the inclusion of the DNA should have been
required (otherwise you'd get lots of nasty fatal errors). But in any case, you
need a .tpr file that describes the whole system, which is assembled from grompp
using a matching coordinate file and topology.
