How to generate new residue information for an .rtp file in GROMACS?

Hello, I am trying to add a new residue so I can run a protein folding simulation using GROMACS. However, I have looked at the aminoacids.rtp file for the force field I want to use and I am not...

fatal error

When I tried to energy minimization my system, I got fatal error as below. Fatal error: Atomtype opls_116 not found Although I've already added this line: ; include water #include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp" to [molecultype] directive in my topology.

How to analyze a particular region of my simulation box in GROMACS?

Hi, I am using GROMACS 5.1.4 to simulate water in contact with a surface. I am only interested to calculate some properties of water near the surface. Let's say at a distance of x nm from the...

What kind of fluid could I use for a pitfall trap that also does not invalidate molecular testing?

Hi, I want to start testing pitfall trap to obtain ants samples, but I need to conduct molecular analysis on those insects. So, what kind of fluid can I use? Ethanol expires too early and I need...

Arena simulation - how do i model the following model in ARENA (see description) (new to ARENA)?

Hello, I'm fairly new to ARENA and I have the following problem: I have two queues in which, in each queue, a different order type arrives (both having an arrival rate of exponential 10). Order...

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

Short of writing your own program, this is the only mechanism in GROMACS to solvate. That's why the program is named as it is.

If you do not want to use genbox you can use the program packmol

You can use editconf, and in some way specify the position of each solvent particle. But why dont you want to use genbox or solvate?

Hi, why don`t you use these tools? there is some drawback?
