[gmx-users] Problems with pdb2gmx and grompp

[Kushal Seth]

Hi
I had the same problem. Check your MDP file or may be try using
another mdp file (which you might get on gromacs queries ) inserting
the parameters you want.

Also for your other error try including the files ffgmx.atp ,
ffgmxnb.itp , ffgmsbon.itp and ffgmx.itp in the directory you are
working (You can get these on Gromacs resources ).
Hope this Helps.
