[gmx-users] Re: Require help in GROMACS

[Justin A. Lemkul]

It would be best to post this message on the gmx-users list.  It is a 
Gromacs-related error message, and not specific to my tutorial.

It is an oft-encountered error, resulting from incorrect updating of your 
topology.  InflateGRO *did* remove lipids; check the screen output carefully. 
Here's how to tell:

grep POPC system_2.gro | wc -l
  14716

POPC molecules contain 52 atoms each, so 14716/52 = 283.  InflateGRO has 
apparently removed 5 lipids from your original 288.
