[gmx-users] simulating two peptides in a box

[Justin A. Lemkul]

Several questions come to mind, aside from trying to sift through your 
interpretation of error messages.  Hint: always show your exact command, 
followed by the relevant portion of the screen output; that way we don't 
have to guess what you've been up to :-)

1. Do you have two different proteins, or are they the same?  If they 
are different, changing the number of Protein molecules in your topology 
will not be correct.  If they are the same, this is fine.

2. Does the order of your topology follow the order of the coordinate 
file?  When you get warnings about non-matching atom names, you should 
be alert that something has gone wrong.
