2023 AMBER tutorial 2 with PDBID 3WZE

Directory Setup

As always, we set up folders to keep us organized as we move generate files:

mkdir 001_structure
mkdir 002_parameters
mkdir 003_leap
mkdir 004_equil
mkdir 005_production

Amber Simulation Parameters

To generate parameters for the simulation, we must implement the following:

antechamber -i ../001_structure/3wze_lig_wH.mol2 -fi mol2 -o 3wze_ligand_antechamber.mol2 -fo mol2 -at gaff2 -c bcc -rn LIG -nc 0

nc = 0 because the charge on the ligand is 0. If your ligand is non-zero, enter the appropriate charge at the end of this line. It may be helpful to check the protonation state of the ligand at pH 7. Once 3wze_ligand_antechamber.mol2 output file is generated, run parmch2:

parmchk2 -i 3wze_ligand_antechamber.mol2 -f mol2 -o 3wze_ligand.am1bcc.frcmod
