[gmx-users] Re: .GRO and .TOP files editing

[Luke Pestl]

Alternatively, you could define your monomers in the relevant ff???.rtp 
file so that pdb2gmx can build the polymer from residues.  You can use 
PRODRG to give you an idea of what charges you should assign to the 
atoms.  See section 5.5 of the manual for more information.
