[gmx-users] Re: Fwd: itp file problem

[Justin A. Lemkul]

Please keep all Gromacs-related correspondence on the gmx-users list.  I am not 
a private tutor and will soon be leaving for a trip and will have limited access 
to email, so relying on me for personal help is a bad choice at this time.

I don't know what this means.  Please copy and paste all relevant error messages 
rather than try to interpret them yourself.

The coordinates and topology from PRODRG should match.  If they don't, you 
downloaded the wrong file(s).  Gromos96 43a1 has explicit representation of 
polar and aromatic hydrogens.  I suspect there's some mismatch there, but only 
you know what the extraneous atoms are.

Clear up the problem with the .itp file above and this will be solved.  Hacking 
the topology is not the correct solution.  Obtaining the correct files is.
