In the maual, it says that the prepare module will automatically add counter ions and missing hydrogens to the original PDB. I used the following input file to solvate my system, but afterwards, I cannot find any counter ion in the output pdb. Does NWChem keep track of the counter ion internally or did I do something wrong? Thanks. ================================================ title; solvation and hydrogen addition of HIV-1 IN double mutatnt memory heap 1 mb stack 40 mb global 20 mb start double prepare system double_em modify sequence 59:HIE grid 70 1.0 orient center periodic solvate cube 7.2 expand 0.10 touch 0.26 write rst doubleH_em.rst write pdb doubleHOH.pdb end task prepare ====================================================== =========================================== --@_@-- Matthew Lee V Graduate Research Assistant Department of Biochemical & Biophysical Sciences University of Houston (713) 743-8367 e-mail: mlee@adrik.bchs.uh.edu http://adrik.bchs.uh.edu/~mlee ===========================================
