Dear All
I used the following command sequentially to prepare file for energy
minimization and subsequent MD run.
1. pdb2gmx  -f *.pdb -o seq.gro -p seq.top
2. editconf -f seq.gro -o seq_box.gro -d 1.0 -bt cubic
3. genbox   -cp seq_box.gro -cs spc216.gro -o seq_b4ion.gro -p seq.top
4. grompp   -c seq_b4ion.gro -p seq.top -o seq_b4ion.tpr -f em.mdp
grompp gives following error.processing topology...

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.7
Source code file: grompp.c, line: 986

Fatal error:
There were 9 errors in input file(s)
-------------------------------------------------------
 pdb2gmx works properly using ff43a1 forcefield. My protein contains
Heme.  This heme is bonded to MET SD and NE2 HIS as well as NA NB NC ND of
heme porphyrins. It is actually these six bond which is created in topology
file with pdb2gmx using specbond.dat, giving error in grompp. I tried to
find these bonds in in built files of gromacs i.e. /share/top/ but I
couldnt. Can any one help me and tell me where can I find these bonds/angle
parameters and what should I add in ffG43a1 .itp .rtp files
please help.
