Re: [AMBER] question on protonation state of histidine

"it" means a paragraph of the Amber tutorial, or from a previous AMBER mail list.
 
Suppose leap can automatically gives the correct protonation state of "HIS" with input as the "H" removed PDB file, can someone introduce the possible diffence of the protonation state made by this step in comparison with the HIS protonation state given by REDUCE?
 
If we do not remove H for leap input and we select to modify the protonation state based on REDUCE prediction (or some other prediction), should we correspondingly change the 3-letter codon of HIS in the PDB file, or we still keep the codon as "HIS"  for all different states of HIS protonation, and then we input the PDB file to leap and we leave leap for the 3-codon modification?
 
In fact, the situation should be much complex. As for even for predetermined protonation state HIS, the protonation state could be changed during the MD process.
 
Thus does anyone has the experience to show the influence of HIS protonation on the MD results of a protein?
 
Cheers,
 
Acoot

What is "it"?

Cheers,
