Gromacs制作能量收敛的水分子层
作者：互联网
制作可用于计算的介电常数的水分子层
总的来说，需要用溶解的方式制作gro文件，然后自己制作top文件，如果直接用pdb2gmx和用packmol制作的由单体水分子构成的分子层会使得分子之间成H键。
制作gro文件
gmx solvate -box 11 11 2 -cs spc216.gro -o water_test.gro
盒子的大小是配合蛋白的最小外接和盒子尺寸的。
下面展示water_test.gro的前几行

修改mdp文件
这里需要根据gro文件中仿真盒子尺寸的大小修改rlist,rcoulomb,rvdw这几个值，最好是以1A°为差一直尝试到gromacs不再提示调整rlist。还有约束键的类型要是H-bond，具体值如下：

gmx dipoles -corr total -c -f water_test_npt.trr -s water_test_npt.tpr
这个输出的数应该是50,80这样的，和仿真盒子的大小有关系，但是一定不是1，建议做完每步看一下生成的gro文件，如果gromacs提示increase box size or decrease rlist, 不要增加盒子的大小，这样会使得一些分子跑到扩展盒子的界面上去，这样会严重影响分子的性质。在每步生成gro中如果出现分子分离了应该立刻停止更改结构或者调整mdp参数。
