[gmx-users] pdb2gmx does not recognize residues

[Nuno Azoia]

I think this a problem of bad format of your pdb file.
What is happening is that your CH4 is not in the right position, in the
pdb file, so pdb2gmx are just reading the letter C from your CH4.
Check carefully the pdb file format. You can try to remove two empty
spaces between ATOM and the residue number. It should work. But again,
check the pdb file format, or just use some software to write the pdb
for you. You can use Pymol, for example, and then just rename the
residues.
