Hi all,
As a i am going through tutorial, there is one file named water-1bar-303K.gro file used solvate protein, actually this file contains 1 bead for one water molecule . I want to know how this file can be generated, is it by means of any script available or option in martini. Please suggest me a solution for this, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The file water-1bar-303K.gro contains normal Martini water: 1 bead for 4 water molecules. 3:1 and 1:1 mapping does not exist for Martini water.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. You want to generate a file like "water-1bar-303K.gro" containing just water beads? Why not use the existing file then? You can also use the existing file (water-1bar-303K.gro) to get a bigger or smaller system of water, using genbox (genbox -cs water-1bar-303K.gro -box 20 20 20 -o big_water_box.gro).

If this doesn't help you, you should explain more clearly WHY you want to make a new box/file.

Hi ,
Sorry for not being clear , if i want to combine 4 water molecules as one bead ,did i need to write any script ? i dont want to use the above mentioned option,i want to generate water beads myself(by writing or using already written script) , how can i do that? Is there any script mentioned in martini. Can you suggest me a direction , on what factors does we take in to account for combining four water molecules to one bead.

Thank you,
Mohan

I still don't understand what you want. If you you want to convert an atomistic water box to an Martini water box (eg bundling the waters), we don't really have a script for that. You could however read the following paper: "The CUMULUS Coarse Graining Method: Transferable Potentials for Water and Solutes", Van Hoof et al., 2011.
