[gmx-users] Re: warning mesgs

[Justin A. Lemkul]

It would be helpful if all of this was on one thread, with replies 
embedded.  I have sent several replies to your questions, all of which 
have gone unacknowledged.  It makes it very difficult for anyone (myself 
or someone else) to give advice if we don't know what you're doing or 
what you've tried.  Even if something didn't work based on what I, or 
anyone else, tells you, it is nice to know that "I tried this, but I 
still have a problem, which is shown here: (exact error/warning/problem)."

As I've said before, exact procedural details of what you've done are 
essential for sorting out strange problems like this.  This means - 
*exact* (copy and paste) command lines from pdb2gmx, and any error 
messages you receive.  Also, any manipulations you have made to your 
input .pdb file.  It seems to me that you've probably edited your file 
to have only one chain identifier, and hence why pdb2gmx is trying to 
make everything one molecule.

The -merge option of pdb2gmx is what you want (see pdb2gmx -h).  If the 
following command line doesn't work, it would be nice to see an exact 
reason (i.e., copy/paste from the error/warning/whatever):

pdb2gmx -f (input).pdb -ignh -ter -merge

I got the above to work perfectly on an insulin structure I found in the 
RCSB (1ZNI), after deleting chains C and D from the .pdb file.  If your 
structure continues to give you headaches, try this one to make sure 
that your Gromacs installation is working properly (something I inquired 
about several days ago...)
