NAFlex ABC Setup Pipeline

NAFlex provides a pipeline to setup structures for the Ascona B-DNA Consortium (ABC) members.

The setup process is made with leap program from AMBER package and ff14SB forcefield, with the new nucleic acids parmbsc1 forcefield, Dang ions parameters and SPC/E Water model.

The steps of the pipeline are:

  • Add missing atoms
  • Energetically minimize the system
  • Solvate structure with a truncated octahedron box, with SCP/E water model
  • Neutralize the system with Potassium ions
  • Add an ionic concentration of 150mM of Cl- / K+ ions
  • Randomize ions around the structure using cpptraj
