Thanks a lot Ismail
But my main problem is setting up the explicit system.
I don't have access to charmm anymore
How should I use VMD/NAMD to solvate the protein with (40% Ethanol+ 60%
Water) ?
Once I solvate it ,I could save the pdb and psf file for the MD run
Thanks again but more info would be great
Best
Babban
