Re: protonating ASP and GLU

I am using amber force field so what will be the modified residue names in that case?

This all depends on what force field you are using, since the modified residue names are non-PDB standard as far as I know.

For CHARMM36 the patches are ASPP and GLUP, so I would replace your mutate commands with the following:

patch GLUP xxxx:20 xxxx:25 xxxx:62
patch ASPP xxxx:65

HTH,

Dear NAMD users,

I need to generate a psf file with protonated ASP and GLU residues using the following script:

package require psfgen
topology ../../xxxx.rtf
topology ../../xxxx.rtf
topology ../../xxxx.rtf

pdbalias atom ILE CD1 CD
pdbalias residue HIS HID

segment xxxx {
pdb xxxx.pdb
mutate 20 GLH
mutate 25 GLH
mutate 62A GLH
mutate 65 ASH
}
coordpdb xxxx.pdb xxxx
regenerate resids
guesscoord

patch DISU uPA:62 uPA:46
patch DISU uPA:125 uPA:54
patch DISU uPA:219 uPA:150
patch DISU uPA:198 uPA:182
patch DISU uPA:238 uPA:209

segment xxxx {first none; last none; auto none; pub xxxx.pdb}
coordpdb xxxx.pdb xxxx
segment xxxx {first none; last none; auto none; pdb xxxx.pdb}
coordpdb xxxx.pdb xxxx
segment xxxxx {first NONE; last NONE; auto none; pdb xxxxx.pdb}
coordpdb xxxxx.pdb xxxx
guesscoord

writepdb xxxxx.pdb
writepsf xxxxx.psf

The mutate command works well for for GLU and they are converted to GLH, however I receive an error message for ASP: unknown residue type ASH.
What is the problem? And how can I protonate the ASP?

Thanks,

Nehad
