Re: how to make dual-hybrid topology?

Indrajaya,

we have a dual-topology data base of the 19 x 20 / 2 amino-acid
hybrids, that we have not included yet on the NAMD webpage, and
distribute right now upon request.

With this data base, PSFgen and alchemify (a utilitary that builds
the correct PSF files, bereft of superfluous angles/torsions), you
won't need CHARMM to set up your alchemical FEP calculations.

Regards,

Chris Chipot

I want to use alchemical free enery perturbation feature in NAMD but I don't have a dual-topology hybrid of my amino acid topology (alanine and glutamic acid). From the tutorial in NAMD web site about setting up alchemical free energy perturbation calculation in NAMD, it state that CHARMM can make this kind topology. Unfortunely, we don't have CHARMM program in our laboratory. Can anybody guide me how to
