[gmx-users] Hydroixde Ion

[SHIVANGI NANGIA]

Hello,

I am new gromacs user.
I am trying to set up a water-methanol system with few hyrdroxide ions.

Since hyrdroxide ion does not already exist in gromacs database, I defined the
following in the .rtp file ( I am using ffG53a6)

[ OH ]
 [ atoms ]
   OW    OW    -1.41000     0
  HW1     H     0.41000     0
 [ bonds ]
   OW   HW1    gb_38
 [ angles ]
;  ai    aj    ak   gromos typpe
 [ impropers ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al   gromos type
 [ dihedrals ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al   gromos type


I also included OH in the .atp file ( I realise that hydroxide ion is NOT an
atom, its a diatomic anion, I was just trying!)

I ran into the error: No such moleculetype OH

I further included information in the ions.itp as follows:

[ moleculetype ]
; molname   nrexcl
OH    1

[ atoms ]
; id  at type  res nr   residu name at name  cg nr charge
1  OH 1  OH    OH  1 -1

The genion adds the "OH"  in the .gro file and also the topol.top but when I
try to minimize the system using 
grompp -f minim.mdp -c 5his8_meohi_wat.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr
I am still running into the same error, No such moleculetype OH.

Any help will be greatly appreciated to help me understand.

Thanks,
Shivangi
