[gmx-users] problem with genion

[nitu sharma]

Dear all,

                   Thanks for solving lot of problem of me in doing membrane
membrane protein simulation. Now I have a one problem I want to add ion to
the my system by genion command

for this i am following justin's tutorial  but in the genion step when i
have put the command like this -
 genion -s ions.tpr -o compsol-ions.gro -p topol1.top -pname NA+ -nname CL-
-np 1
  and I choose the 0 for adding ions to the system then I have  got the
error like this -

Opening library file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
Group     0 (      System) has 598751 elements
Group     1 (     Protein) has  9902 elements

Group     3 (     C-alpha) has  1000 elements
Group     4 (    Backbone) has  3000 elements
