[AMBER] Is it the correct procedures to strip water for MM/GBSA calculations?

Dear Prof. Case,

 

Thank you. Could you please kindly tell me more about how can I do it properly? It is what I guess, but I dont' know if it is correct, pls kindly instruct.

 

(1) Get mdcrd files from explicit solvent simulations.

 

(2) Use ptraj with following command lines to generate water stripped mdcrd files for MM/GBSA calculations.

trajin xxx.mdcrd

trajout xxx_strip.mdcrd

strip :WAT

 

(3) as usual, readin the xxx_strip.mdcrd files for MM/GBSA analysis.

 

Is it correct or stupid things still appear in the procedures?

 

Best regards,

Cat
