Dear Dr. Simmerling
Thank you for your suggestions. But I still did not figure out how to mannually adjust the buffer
size in order to match the water molecules in starting coordinate.I used solvateoct command and carefully
adjust the buffer size, but as my protein is quite big and surrounded by thousands of waters. I find it
quite difficult to adjust to the exact number of waters.
Is that a way that can mannually revise the topology or the coordinate file? I do not know the
exact organization format of inpcrd file so no clue for this.
Thank you!
Xiaonan
