Re: [AMBER] protein domain "broken"

Hi Myriam,

just to sum up:
Your first problem was that you forgot to define the disulfide bond, and
thus your simulation ran with two cystein residues lacking that bond.
=> You have to re-run your simulations.

Your second problem is that your system shows a change in secondary
structure during the course of simulation. This is by no means strange,
but reflects the ability of MD simulations to describe the system - but
can also be an artifact due to the forcefield used.

Good examples for peptide systems exhibiting a change in secondary
structure are simulations describiting ab-initio folding of peptides.

Also be aware that your visualization program normally decides according
to the backbone angle topology, what secondary structure the system is
depicted in. So, small changes here might change the style.


Regards

Anselm
