Dear Irene,
thanks for suggestion.
According to the PSFgen manual I've splited ligand and protein into two
separate pdb files.
Than I've applied parametrization (using 27 params for protein and
nucleotide 36 params for cGMP-ligand).
package require psfgen
resetpsf
topology top_crq_final.inp
topology top_all27_prot_lipid.inp
topology top_all36_na.rtf
pdbalias residue HIS HSE
segment A {
pdb input.pdb
first NTER
last CTER
}
coordpdb input.pdb A
guesscoord
#patch NTER A:1
#patch CTER A:424
segment B {
pdb ligand.pdb
first NONE
last NONE
}
coordpdb ligand.pdb B
patch CY35 B:1 B:1
regenerate angles dihedrals
writepsf start.psf
writepdb start.pdb
Than I solvated my system and made minimization without any warnings.
Does this complex preparation correct ?
2) I've forced with the parametrisatrion of the same complex using Charm 36
protein's params. I have no any problems with the psfgen but during loading
my complex in NAMD for energy minimisation I've obtained
FATAL ERROR: DIDN'T FIND vdW PARAMETER FOR ATOM TYPE HB
This is parameters from the PSFgen
package require psfgen
resetpsf
topology top_all36_prot.rtf
topology top_all36_na.rtf
and that is from the conf file
#forcefield
paratypecharmm on
parameters par_all36_prot.prm
parameters par_all36_na.prm
Should I rename each HB atom in my input files or is the any other
suggestions?
James
