-ignh does not do what you think it does. -ignh ignores the original PDB's hydrogen coordinates. Picking the "correct" histidine protonation at pH 7 is still structure- dependent since either nitrogen can be protonated. The manual for pdb2gmx states the following automatic HIS protonation: "For His, this is based on an optimal hydrogen bonding conformation. Hydrogen bonds are defined based on a simple geometric criterium, specified by the maximum hydrogen-donor-acceptor angle and donor-acceptor distance, which are set by -angle and -dist respectively." -- ================================================================== Peter C.
