How To Generate Psf File From A Pdb File?
Hi Biostars!
Can someone tell me how to convert a solvated pdb structure with ions to a psf file?
I have tried using VMD but the problem is that it is not taking the water molecules and ions into account, even if the topology file contains information about the ions and water.
I have also tried using charmm gui, but even that dint help me to convert all the information (solvent and ions information) of PDB file to a PSF file.
NOTE: The system is a nucleic acid structure called RNA
Please Help!

If autoionizer is not working the right way, maybe you can ask/search about it on the vmd mailling list.

Where do the ions/solvent come from?
i have added it manually.. but now i want to generate the psf file with all the solvate and ion information in it
Added manually...or by a software/method that place them ? Using automated methods approved by the scientific community is a necessary step when solvating and adding ions. Be careful.
Using the pdb reader from charmm-gui to generate a psf is good and works. Then in your next step (that i assume to use your favorite MD software) you will be able to read the psf and add waters/ions.
well the problem is that VMD is adding the ions out of box(using autoionizer) So, i have used charmm gui to added the ions but to run the ionized file for MD in NAMD, i need the PSF file as well as the ionized file. And the PSF file generated using charmm is not matching with the PDB files after adding ions.
