Bill,
yes, the structure is fine.. I don't see any problem in the coordinates.
Can you please comment on the usual way of doing it ?. Initially I tried to set up the
system as Jan mentioned, preparing single pdb file but due to atom/residue numbering,
it didn't work well. Probably due to too many ligand molecules (not at the same binding pocket) ?
By looking at the structure, I could assume that the solvateOct somehow misplaced the solute as
it is dragged towards one side.
thanks for your valuable time and suggestions.
Senthil
Bill,
I am still quite new to Amber things and have used leap in the same way
as Senthil did in order to set up a protein-ligand complex. Hence, I
used something like:
p = loadpdb protein.pdb
l = loadpdb ligand.pdb
c = combine {p l}
[addions, solvateoct, saveamberparams]
The system was built and simulated properly this way. I am wondering why
this should be an unusual way. Do most people set up PDB files with the
entire complex before starting leap?
If combine works well for two objects, shouldn't it perfectly upscale
with more items? Also, why should it matter to the solvation code how
the set of coordinates it receives as input has been created?
It would be nice to see if the solvation behavior changes when Senthil
prepares his complex in one big PDB file and skips the combine step. I
don't hope so.
