Protonation States

Fabian Grunewald edited this page Jul 29, 2022 · 1 revision

To set the protonation states in martinize2, the residues that are to be protonated need to follow either the CHARMM or AMBER forcefield family naming convention for protonated residues (see table below).

forcefield aminoacid protnated AA
charmm GLU GLUP
charmm ASP ASPP
charmm LYS LSN
charmm HIS HSP
amber GLU GLH
amber ASP ASH
amber LYS LYN
amber HIS HIP

In order to change the name of your protonated residue you can use the -mutate flag. For example, to change LYS residue 33 in lysozyme to it's neutral form simply run:

martinize2 -f 1HEL.pdb -x cg.pdb -o topol.top -ff martini3001 -elastic -scfix -cys auto -dssp -ignore HOH -mutate A-LYS33:LSN
