[gmx-users] [merge option in pdb2gmx

[Valentin Gogonea]

David,

I really appreciate your help. I tried again, with no success. If the 
topologies of the different chains are in separate itp files, then 
where the bonding information about crosslinking is written? As far is 
I noticed is not in top file.

Here is the command line that I have used:
pdb2gmx -f zn4cys.pdb -o zn4cys.gro -p zn4cys.top -ff oplsaa -merge

I attached here the pdb file and the specbon.dat file.

Thank you again.

Valentin
