solvating the molecule

Dear All
I need to solvate my molecule which contain gold(AU) and thiols (S,C,H,N,O) and need to add ions also. Because of the force field problem i am not able to do it using vmd. Can anybody suggest the way to do that.
Thanking you in advance.

Regards

sure you can use VMD. why not?
it is just a matter of doing a little scripting.

Maybe gromacs?

Thanks Axel and Daniel. I will try.

Dear Daniel
I did the solvation using genbox but the problem is information for gold atom not exist in the “vdwradii.dat”. So when i did solvation the resultant pdb file have overlap[](http://manual.gromacs.org/online/dat.html)s between water molecules and gold atoms.
May I increase the vdwd radius in genbox command or should i include the vdwd information for gold atom in the “vdwdeadii.dat” ?

Thanking you in advance

I’m not too familiar with or experienced with gromacs, sorry.

You should be able to get help from the mailing list for gromacs from http://www.gromacs.org/
