Dear Mark
Many thanks for your response.
Now A question:
I have read multiple chains section in gromacs website. It says take a
structure file with single chain and use pdb2gmx on it. In the resulting .top
file at the end of file, we see
{molecule}
protein
we should change the protein number to the number of identical chains. and then
submit this .top with the coordinate file containing the same number of chains
as mentioned in .top file: (((I have the pdf format of structure for 2 chains,
How can I get the .gro file for them? as I have done pdb2gmax on a single
chain, I do not have a .gro file containing 2 chains. Should I separately do
pdb2gmax on this .top file to get .gro containing 2 chains?))))
--------------------
As a test, Once I did pdb2gmx on a source pdb file of 1RFB. As a result I have
.gro file which has putted the aminoacides of the second chain after the first
chain without separating them. (This does not show the protein as two separate
chains !! ). Also it gives .top files separately for each chain. Are these
results correct??
-------------------------
Regards
D.M

The number of chains is not really the issue - you want to compare
things that are comparable. If 1RFB contains a dimeric structure
that does the same job as the monomeric 1ITF then they might be
comparable.
I want to know if it is common to do MD on selected chain of a dimer?

It happens. Whether it makes scientific sense in your case is
something you have to address.
