Subject: pdb2gmx converting coordinates incorrectly.
To: gmxusers at gromacs.org


Friends,
I generated a pdb for a tyrosineamide molecule and made an entry for it in
ffcharmm27.rtp.  Everything seems to be fucntional--I can make the .gro file
and the .top file using pdb2gmx and subsequent processes seem to execute
fine.  The only problem is that when I look at the .gro file in VMD, I can
see that the atoms have been moved to entirely different coordinates with
respect to each other---I mean it's not even a real molecule, and certainly
not the one I'm starting with  Looking at the text of the .gro file, I see
that the x cooridinate seems to have been converted correctly to nanometers,
but the y and z coordinates are clearly wrong.   Here are copies of the
coordinates (the columns are aligned in the real files).  This happens when
I use pdb2gmx  Version 4.0.5
