[gmx-users] Equilibrate the water around my molecule

[Lara Bunte]

Hi

my command was pdb2gmx -f isoalloxazin.pdb -water tip3p which worked for ISO Isoalloxazin in the residuetypes.dat

I don't get an output of this command, only the fatal error I wrote and an empty topology file.


I don't know what to do now


Greetings
Lara

Please get in the habit of supplying the command line you used. Various 
symptoms can have multiple causes, and retaining information does not 
help you.

Because ISO is now protein, pdb2gmx knows to expect to have to deal with 
terminating the residue chain (pehaps building in terminal atoms, such 
as OXT). Or not, according to what is needed in your case. See pdb2gmx 
-h regarding the -ter option. Be sure to read and understand the pdb2gmx 
output - it probably talked about the termini.
