Hello All,
I am working on DNA simulations using GROMACS
Question: I created A.gro file that has DNA molecule and water molecules
within a box using GROMACS. I want to create a cylinder around the DNA so
that I can place some ions, or, compute axis of DNA so that I can place ions
closely to it. Could you guide me on the same.
You can define a special set of water molecules that are candidates for
replacement with genion, and let it choose them randomly. Read the -h
output for genion and editconf carefully, and note that the special set
must be contiguous in the coordinate file. So maybe use g_select to
define the special set according to some geometric criterion, two runs
of editconf to create coordinate files with respectively the special set
removed and just the special set, concatenate them with a text editor
(being sure to follow all the file format details) so the special set is
now contiguous, adjust the .top to have two different solvent groups and
finally use genion.
