Dear namd users
I'm trying to assemble a system in which a carbohydrate will be considered
as a ligand for a protein. The ligand is being constructed using the latest
charmm force field topology available that includes atom-types of more than
4 characters long. This have caused me many troubles when I try to generate
a correct psf specially when I try to ionize the system with autoionize. I
tried another approach that was to ionize the protein + water system and
then merge that psf/pdb with the psf/pdb from the ligand but it did not
work properly because when I try to run the simulation I got a non-zero
charge for the system. I know there is some issues with the character limit
for the atom-type in the x-plor/NAMD psf files, and I know there is
something about the EXT format for those files but I haven´t got a clear
answer about it from reading the namd or vmd list.
Thanks.
