[gmx-users] CNT (.top) and (.gro) files

[Dr. Ramón Garduño-Juárez]

  Dear gmx users:

  I am really stuck in my project. I am modeling a carbon nanotube - protein system and I can not figure out how to set the topology files for the CNT (carbon nanotube). All I have is a PDB like file for the CNT and for the protein.

  By reading past messages on the GMX discussion list it seems that I have to include some extra information in the ffgmx.* files, particularly the ffgmx.n2t file but in order to do this I need to know the meaning of the fields of this file which I copy below.

  I will appreciate very much if anyone can shine some light into my darkness.

  Much obliged,

  ffgmx.n2t:
