Hello,
I noticed that the lipophilic atomic potentials of OD2 and OE2 are set to very positive values in mlp.py:
'ASP': {'C': -0.54,
'CA': 0.02,
'CB': 0.45,
'CG': 0.54,
'N': -0.44,
'O': -0.68,
'OD1': -0.68,
'OD2': 0.53}
'GLU': {'C': -0.54,
'CA': 0.02,
'CB': 0.45,
'CD': -0.54,
'CG': 0.45,
'N': -0.44,
'O': -0.68,
'OE1': -0.68,
'OE2': 0.53},
As as result the hydrophobic surface representation always show hydrophobic patchs on the carboxylates, which look quite odd to me. Is there a justification for this setting? In addition, aren't the two oxygens in the carboxylate equal considerting that they
are in resonance?
