[gmx-users] problem with pdb2gmx

[Stud_Psychopharm]

Dear Sergio,
when doing pdb2gmx, it will ask you to select the forcefield, select "0" 
there. while running editconf give the following command:
editconf -f *.pdb or gro -d 0.8 -c -o out.gro
genbox -cp out.gro -cs -p *.top -o *.pdb

and do the other steps.
It workedout for me after the similar problem.
All the best
blaise m costa.
