Hello everyone, <br><br>I have two protein structures, and the insides of both are not exposed to water. <br>One structure contains two oppositely charges residues (GLU and LYS) facing each other. The second structure contains a GLU residue only. <br>Upon minimization I had expected the coloumb energies of the first structure to be lower than that of the second. However, this was not the case, they are both very similar. <br>Does anyone have an idea as to why this has happened? <br>(The only explaination I can come up with is that perhaps the effect is so small that it can not be seen)<br><br>I was not sure if providing PDB and .mdp files would be helpful, but I can send then in my next mail if neccesary.<br><br>Thank you in advance! <br>Abdullah Ahmed <br> <br /><hr />Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
