Re: How to link two proteins

Hi Olivier,
your best bet is to define a patch in the topology file, and then apply
it to the appropriate residues. You can use the DISU patch as a model,
and then put in the appropriate atoms from your two residues to replace
those involved in a disulfide bond.
Best,
Peter
