Thanks for the detailed answer

Well I tried several times to run reduce and antechamber with different options (e.g. with -Xplor parameter in reduce) but the names are not identical not in the PDB, but more importantly not in the mol2 file. And the charges are very different. The authors do use GAFF but with RESP for partial charges….

"Partial charges for ligands were obtained using RESP38 fi tting for the electrostatic potentials calculated using Gaussian0339 at the Hartree− Fock/6-31G* level of theory."

As you can see the PDB indeed names the ligand correctly SKF, and so the sqm.pdb file, and indeed I used AM1-BCC charge method, but the charges and atoms types are indeed quite different, I paste both my results and their results for comparison…. I guess I will try anyway and see how different the results are.

I guess the results will be different, but in any case I am looking for a certain degree of reproducibility before I start playing with my molecules, if the results are completely wrong well… I will rethink.

THanks!!

Fabian
