[gmx-users] pdb2gmx problems and modified AA's

Hi Gromacs Users,

Thanks David for that point.  I have renamed NE1 to NE3 (since there is also a CE2) in the rtp, hdb files and in the pdb I'm trying to process.  The fatal error then read:

Fatal error: Atom HE31 not found in rtp database in residue CRQ, it looks a bit like HE11

Accordingly, I changed the nitrogen-bonded hydrogen atoms (there should be 2) to HE31 and HE32 respectively.  However, this generated the following fatal errors:

WARNING: atom HD11 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file
         You might need to add atom HD11 to the hydrogen database of residue CRQ         in the file ff???.hdb (see the manual)
 
 
WARNING: atom HE11 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file
         You might need to add atom HE11 to the hydrogen database of residue CRQ         in the file ff???.hdb (see the manual)
 
 
WARNING: atom HE21 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file
         You might need to add atom HE21 to the hydrogen database of residue CRQ         in the file ff???.hdb (see the manual)
 
 
WARNING: atom HD21 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file
         You might need to add atom HD21 to the hydrogen database of residue CRQ         in the file ff???.hdb (see the manual)
 
 
WARNING: atom HB21 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file
         You might need to add atom HB21 to the hydrogen database of residue CRQ         in the file ff???.hdb (see the manual)
 
 
WARNING: atom O2 is missing in residue CRQ 62 in the pdb file

Fatal error: There were 6 missing atoms in molecule Protein_A, if you want to use this incomplete topology anyhow, use the option -missing

I have added the requisite lines to the hbd file, so I'm not sure why it does not find them.  The hydrogens are not in the pdb file - I am adding them through the use of pdb2gmx.  I'm not sure why it states that 02 is not in the pdb, since it is definitely there.  Does pdb2gmx expect to find the hydrogens in the pdb file?  

Cheers,

Seth
