Dear all,
              I need to create a starting pdb file for doble walled Carbon
nano tube of desired radius with two graphene sheets.I already have one but
when i use pdb2gmx  gromacs The pdb file looks something like this..

*pdb2gmx -f carbon.pdb -o out.pdb -p topol.top *
its just a part of pdb i had attached the complete pdb file.i am able to
view this in vmd.it fine.but when i do pdb2gmx it gives me the following
error with charmm force field or any other force fields..

Processing chain 1 'X' (4765 atoms, 225 residues)
There are 0 donors and 0 acceptors
There are 0 hydrogen bonds
Warning: Starting residue C041 in chain not identified as Protein/RNA/DNA.

More than 5 unidentified residues at start of chain - disabling further
warnings.
Problem with chain definition, or missing terminal residues.
This chain does not appear to contain a recognized chain molecule.
If this is incorrect, you can edit residuetypes.dat to modify the behavior.
8 out of 8 lines of specbond.dat converted successfully
