Hello Dr. Ismail
Thanks for the information.
I did as you suggested but now I am having some trouble relating to the
parameters and topology file for my PACKMOL created PDB file.
The entries in which look something like this :
Where HOH is water molecule and LIG is ethanol.
I need to create a PSF file for this PDB which then can be further used in
NAMD and all and I do not know how to appropriately do that.
Can you please advise on how and which topology/parameter file I should use
to generate the PSF for the PDB which looks like below:
How do you use two different topology/parameter file to generate psf using
psfgen as you mentioned there might me different parameters/toplogy for
water and ethanol separately.
HETATM 1796 H HOH A9999 25.464 1.713 38.349 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1797 H HOH A9999 24.396 0.630 38.482 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1798 O HOH A 1 27.837 27.741 20.582 1.00 0.00
O
HETATM 1799 H HOH A9999 28.682 28.113 20.289 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1800 H HOH A9999 27.555 28.333 21.296 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1801 C LIG B 1 31.896 22.058 1.874 1.00 0.00
C
HETATM 1802 C LIG B 1 31.274 23.418 2.110 1.00 0.00
C
HETATM 1803 H LIG B 1 32.875 22.160 1.393 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1804 H LIG B 1 31.254 21.439 1.242 1.00 0.00
H
HETATM 1805 H LIG B 1 32.063 21.540 2.825 1.00 0.00
H
Please advise.
