Hi Jim
i tried what you suggested and that is

1. yes the popc.gro file had all POPC residues truncated to POP, so i
went ahead and changed the entries of popc.itp to pop, and i also did
the same for topol.top file where inthe end you have to mention the
number ofmolecules.
 but still the problem remains and it say again "LC3" atomtypes not found.
so me still stuck. plz help. thanks.
