Re: [AMBER] disulfide bond warnings

HI Jason,

Numerically, they seem to be way out. Disulfide bonds are ~2 Å. Tleap has a cutoff of 2.2Å (see AmberTools "disulfcut"). I was wondering if it is appropriate to use - if possible at all - tleap to adjust the bond length to this cutoff distance. But even if it were, wouldn't this create "distortions" elsewhere?

As I mentioned earlier the starting structure was generated by homology modelling.

Thanking you for your suggestions

George
