[gmx-users] force field: heme group

[Matthew L. Danielson]

Ramachndran,

If you are trying to use the AMBER force field ports for Gromacs 
(assuming you installed them correctly), I have defined the HEME group 
for Amber03.   If this would help you let me know, and i can provide the 
files that you need to replace in your gromacs "top" folder
