Dear Dr. Thomas Steinbrecher
Thanks for your reply
I use Amber10. Thus, it's would better to do simulation in multiple steps.
Is it true?
What points are important in free energy calculation for process such
as DNA mutation and should be considered?
In your tutorial, benzene changed to the phenol (transformation of the
H6 to O6_H6)
and in some studies, one residue of protein changed (for example; Ala to Gly).
I want to do mutate in DNA (for example; mutation GC base pair to AT base pair).
There are 2 questions:
1) In your and other cases, there is only one change. But in my case,
there is two changes
(G to A and C to T). How to manage this case?
2) If I only consider mutation of the G to A (both of G and A are
pyrimidine), difference of G and A is as follows:
G : C6=O6 A : C6-NH2
G : C6-N1-H1 A : C6=N1
G : C2-NH2 A : C2-H2
I wrote table being in tutorial as below:
prmtop: G step 1 prmtop: G
---------->
crgmask='' crgmask= C6, O6, N1, H1, N2, H21, H22
scmask='' scmask=''
prmtop: G step 2 prmtop: A
---------->
crgmask= C6, O6, N1, H1, N2, H21, H22 crgmask= C6, N6, H6, H62, N1, H2
scmask= C6, O6, N1, H1, N2, H21, H22 scmask= C6, N6, H6, H62, N1, H2
ifsc=1 ifsc=1
prmtop: A step 3 prmtop: A
--------->
crgmask= C6, N6, H6, H62, N1, H2 crgmask=''
scmask='' scmask=''
is it true?
Please guide me.
Best regards
