Dear David,
thank you for your answer.
i've read mailing list, and realise that it is a common question for a
newbee in gromacs. =) that's why i decided not to "spam" in it.
i'll be very approtiate for your help.
i've got monomers of 3 types (A,B,C). they are organic, consists of only
C,H,N,O atoms
really, i use PRODRG to produce topology for them.
but.
1. what i have to add to the *.hdb files?
2. how can i explain gromacs, what bonds to use, to construct monomer?

i really need help. nobody in our department have any idea, how to do this.
i'm a Ph.D. studen of department of pollymers of Moscow State University
my emal there is dng at polly.phys.msu.ru <mailto:dng at polly.phys.msu.ru>

make a residue definition in the rtp file belonging to the force field
of your choice. you also need to edit the hdb file.
then run pdb2gm on the pdb file.
