[gmx-users] Error: Expected a molecule type name and nrexcl

Dear Gmx Users,

I have built my system which includes a tube and a protein. I represented
my tube as carbon atoms using Charmm27 ff. I processed pdb2gmx for a tube
and protein togehter and divide it into two itp files including it in my
topoloy file:


; Include forcefield parameters

#include "./charmm27mod.ff/forcefield.itp"

; Include tube topology

#include "Tubes.itp"

; Include Position restraint of Tube

#ifdef POSRES_T

#include "posreTubes.itp"

#endif

; Include Protein topology

#include "Protein.itp"

; Include Position restraint of Protein

#ifdef POSRES_P

#include "posreProtein.itp"

#endif

; Include Position restraint file

#ifdef POSRES

#include "posreALL.itp"

#endif

; Include water topology

#include "./charmm27mod.ff/tip3p.itp"

#ifdef POSRES_WATER

; Position restraint for each water oxygen

[ position_restraints ]

; i funct fcx fcy fcz

1 1 1000 1000 1000

#endif

; Include topology for ions

#include "./charmm27mod.ff/ions.itp"

[ system ]

; Name

Protein in water

[ molecules ]

; Compound #mols

Protein_chain_X 1

Tubes_chain_X 1

Then I added 23000 water molecules and trying to process grompp in order to
replace water molecules with ions obtained errors:

ERROR 1 [file Protein.itp, line 6]:
  Expected a molecule type name and nrexcl


ERROR 2 [file Protein.itp, line 7]:
  Expected a molecule type name and nrexcl

.....



My Protein.itp file is copied from topol.top file and 1st lines look like:

[ moleculetype ]

; Name nrexcl

Do you have any clue what is wrong?

Then another Error starting from the 1st (1009) atom of my protein:

Atom index (1009) in bonds out of bounds (1-0).
This probably means that you have inserted topology section "bonds"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to.
In that case move the "bonds" section to the right molecule.

My tube is not connected with a protein. Should I turn off CMAP? Will it
affect it?

Thank you,

Steven
