[gmx-users] Re: How to generate GRO and TOP file for

Dear Wu,
I had exactly the same question to ask the users. I hope someone would give
a better idea to generate gro and itp for a polymer of your choice molecular
weight.

Currently, what I am doing is to create a smaller polymer using prodrg and
manually extend the itp to the size I want. I know this is not the best way,
however, since polymer topology has just same pattern, its easy to create
the itp file.

However, to extend the gro file, we need to use the angle information and
may be write a script.

I don't know if this a good idea??
