[gmx-users] IMPLICIT SOLVENT IN AMBER

Dear, all I just begin to work in gromacs. I would like to run on a protein with amber99. Is there someone here that successfully did a protein simulation in GROMACS with implicit solvent and willing to explain the procedure and share the parameters used (especially force field). In mdout.mdp (gro

Hi! Starting an implicit solvent simulation works just as starting a "normal", explicit solvent simulation, except there is no solvent molecules. You should use version 4.5.3 for this though (4.0.5 will not work). Then you specify in the mdp-file implicit_solvent = GBSA and use pdb2gmx, grompp

Hi! The answer is that I do not now critical it is. I have seen some papers that seem to hint at it not being overly critical, but, again, life does not come at a net charge. You'd have to see for yourself in your system, given the observables that are important I suppose. Possibly we can implem

Dear all, I have a PDB file of a protein that is in dimeric form, with an INTERchain disulphide bridge. However, in their paper the crystallographers are not sure if this is a true dimeric form or a cyrstallographic artefact (PQS server suggests it is a true dimeric form, but with low confidence).

Hi! When you are computing your zero-step energies, do you then start from the gro-file that you got from em? If so, maybe the energies changes because gro-files have a fixed precision format (with three decimals), while the em-calculations are done using either full single or double precision.
