[gmx-users] dialanine using charmm27 ff

Hi Mark

Thanks for the rtp definitions. I added the rtp defs to aminoacids.rtp and
renamed residue and atom names in pdb file.

But pdb2gmx is still complaining about the terminal groups. It seems to have
picked up ACE, but not CT3.
pdb2gmx error message and modified pdb file are listed below. Any idea ? Do
I need to modify .c.tdb ? If so, do you have that entry as well :) ?

Thanks
Sandeep

=============pdb2gmx error=======================================
Back Off! I just backed up topol.top to ./#topol.top.3#
Processing chain 1 (32 atoms, 4 residues)
There are 3 donors and 3 acceptors
There are 4 hydrogen bonds
Identified residue ACE1 as a starting terminus.
Warning: Residue CT32 in chain has different type (Other) from starting
residue ACE1 (Protein).
Identified residue ALA2 as a ending terminus.
8 out of 8 lines of specbond.dat converted successfully
Start terminus ACE-1: NH3+
End terminus ALA-2: COO-

-------------------------------------------------------
Program pdb2gmx_d, VERSION 4.5.4
Source code file: pdb2top.c, line: 1070

Fatal error:
atom N not found in buiding block 1ACE while combining tdb and rtp
