Hello,
Have you aliased HEM to HEME (similar to aliasing HIS to HSD or HSE, which
is described in one of the tutorials)? I expect the command would be this:
alias residue HEM HEME
If you do a search on HEME in the CHARMM topology file (assuming you are
using the CHARMM force field) you will find the residue and atom naming
conventions for HEME. In UNIX you would do this:
type (at the command prompt) less top_all22_prot.inp
press the / key
type HEME
hit enter
Somewhere out there you may find a document similar to
http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu/ref_info/atom_nom.tbl with useful information about
HEME.
Good luck,
Blake

Hi
I need a little help here. I have a PDB file of HETATM
atoms for a heme group. Each atom has "HEM" in the PDB
residue column (I've attached the PDB file). I am
trying to generate a psf file, but get the following:
building segment HEME
reading residues from pdb file
../../pdb_segments/2D6H/2D6H_fixed_heme.pdb
unknown residue type HEM
extracted 1 residues from pdb file
Info: generating structure...
unknown residue type HEM
and
ERROR: failed on end of segment
MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to
start over.
ERROR: failed on guessing coordinates
ERROR: failed on writing structure to psf file
ERROR: failed on writing coordinates to pdb file
There were quite a few coordinates that couldn't be
guessed, but I've had that problem before and was
still able to generate a psf file. Has anyone else
used a Heme group in a NAMD simulation, or know what I
am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Peter Bazeley
