Dear João,
  Thank you for your reply. To me, the problem seems to come from the pdb file. This is how to correct docking pose looks like:

When I try to change the 3rd row with the HETATM names (in which case the psfgen seems to work) with the names as I see them in the .str file from CGenFF, the docking pose is lost. The wrong docking pose looks like this:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/eWnGVMgt2xV4urA49
  It seems rather illogical to me why this would happen, I`m not changing any of the numbering of the pdb file, just the atom names, and the docking pose is lost somehow (I can see it the moment I load the molecule into VMD). How do you explain this to yourself? Why by altering this column VMD does not recognize the right topology of the ligand?
  Best regards, Pavel.

    Dear Pavel,
    
 
    The residue and atoms’ names of the pdb and topology file have to match. When renaming the atoms, please make sure that they correspond. But, what do you mean that the docking pose is lost? Psfgen have only two ways to get the coordinates, from the pdb that you loaded, or from the IC cards. If the names of the pdb match the topology, it should not be using the IC cards.
      
    If the hydrogen atoms are not present in the pdb, and their coordinates are guessed, that message is printed. This guess is purely geometry-based.
  
    
 
    Best,
    
 
    João

     Dear NAMD users,
    
      
  
    
    
      I have been trying to run psfgen for a protein in question (albumin) and a ligand (diisocyanate) from a docking pose. I have parameterized my ligand with CGenFF and downloaded the CHARMM topology and parameter files required for the psfgen run. However, on running the plug-in I obtained a warning that psfgen failed to set coordinates for the atoms:
    
    
      
  
    
    
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom O
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom N
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom N
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C
UNK:0

 XO1
     
     
       psfgen) Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom O
UNK:0

 XO1
     
    
    
      
  
    
    
      Then I decided to change the names of the heteroatoms in the .pdb file (from C,O,N to C1,O2,N1 - the way I find them in the .str file) since they might not be CHARMM appropriate. On doing that, however, the correct docking pose is lost, BUT!!! I managed to create .psf file for this wrong pose. Still, I receive warning that coordinates for hydrogen atoms, which are not included in the pdb, are poorly guessed.

 XO1
     
    
    
      
  
    
    
      I have tried many things: from writing separate .str files from the one I obtained from CGenFF to changing the residue names in the pdb file, but nothing seems to work. How to change the pdb file in such a way so I don't lose my docking pose and the CHARMM files (and NAMD) recognize the ligand?
    
    
      
  
    
    
      Thank you in advance, I appreciate your willingness to help!
    
    
      
  
    
    
      Greetings,
    
    
      Pavel.
