Re: how to perform MD with two proteins

It's also possible to do this in one psfgen run. You do, however, need
to have one pdb file for each peptide; at that point, you can do
something like the following. Here I'm assuming that your files are
named a.pdb and b.pdb.

topology top_all22_prot_na.inp ;# or whatever you prefer

segment A {
    pdb a.pdb
    first NTER
    last CTER
}

coordpdb a.pdb A

segment B{
    pdb b.pdb
    first NTER
    last CTER
}

guesscoord

writepsf combined.psf
writepdb combined.pdb
