[gmx-users] Atom CD in residue ILE 1 not found in rtp entry with 19 atoms

Hello list,

I tried out the Membrane Builder at www.charmm-gui.org, which
generates CHARMM input files for a combinded membrane-protein system
and it looks quite good. The conversion CHARMM -> GROMACS is a bit
tricky, I know, but I wanted to try it, though:

Using the Perl script on
http://www.gromacs.org/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,59/
I converted the CHARMM force field par_all27_prot_lipid.prm (found at
http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/CHARMM_ff_params.html) to a
GROMACS-like .itp file.

I used the files of
http://www.gromacs.org/old/topologies/uploaded_force_fields/charmm_gromacs.tar.gz
(containing amongst others ffcharmm.itp and ffcharmm.rtp),  so -ff
charmm is available in pdb2gmx. (According to the readme file, now it
should be possible to execute pdb2gmx and create a .top file, that has
to be modified further by charmm27-run-addtop-gromacs-dihe.sh, also
included in this tar.gz.)

When I tried to execute
pdb2gmx -ignh -ff charmm -f usedfile.pdb -o usedfile_new.pdb -p
usedfile_new.top -ter
I got some errors first because of the terminal database files
ffcharmm-c.tdb and ffcharmm-n.tdb, which had to be edited (simply
remove some columns, then it works).

But now I can't find out how to handle
"Fatal Error:
Atom CD in residue ILE 1 not found in rtp enrty with 19 atoms
                        while sorting atoms"

Sorry for that long mail, but to make the problem clear, here are
parts cited from the used files:

OK, the 21 lines in .pdb will hardly fit the 19 lines in .rtp, and the
easiest solution might be to edit the .rtp file, but everything I
tried so far failed, as I'm not too familiar with GROMACS.

Hope you know a possibile solution, thanks in advance!

Enjoy your weekend, best
Volker
