hi
I'm simulating gold atom interaction with aminoacidcys. I have made gold-cys.pdb by hyperchem software: HETATM 1 N CYS 1 0.000 1.335 0.000 HETATM 2 CA CYS 1 -0.683 1.818 -1.183 HETATM 3 C CYS 1 -0.705 3.339 -1.221 HETATM 4 O CYS 1 -0.184 3.993 -0.319 HETATM 5 CB CYS 1 -2.127 1.330 -1.221 HETATM 6 SG CYS 1 -3.106 1.859 -2.649 HETATM 8 AU AU 8 -2.833 0.428 -1.793 HETATM 9 AU AU 9 -2.647 0.381 -2.869 HETATM 10 AU AU 10 -1.691 1.360 -3.093 HETATM 11 AU AU 11 -0.647 2.706 -2.135 HETATM 12 AU AU 12 -2.742 0.834 -0.456 HETATM 13 AU AU 13 -1.691 2.061 -0.043 HETATM 14 AU AU 14 -0.783 3.136 0.376 HETATM 15 AU AU 15 0.095 3.750 -1.068 HETATM 16 AU AU 16 -2.929 2.480 -2.204 HETATM 17 AU AU 17 -3.285 1.594 -3.328 HETATM 18 AU AU 18 -2.544 2.593 -3.763 HETATM 19 AU AU 19 -1.951 1.260 -2.303 CONECT 1 2 CONECT 0 1 CONECT 2 1 3 5 CONECT 0 2 CONECT 3 2 4 CONECT 4 3 CONECT 5 2 6 CONECT 0 5 CONECT 0 5 CONECT 6 5 CONECT 0 6 CONECT 0 6 CONECT 0 6 END I started simulation by this pdb file.

I'm completely confused. I tried anythings that I can but my system doesn't work. please help me Fatemeh Ramezani -- gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
