[gmx-users] top/itp file to show parameters explicitly

Hi Justin, your suggestion got close. However, let me give an example. You
can use the Gly-Gly-Gly example I am attaching and do this:

pdb2gmx -ff amber99sb -f aGGG.pdb -o aGGG_.pdb -p aGGG.top  -water none
/sw/bin/grompp -c aGGG_.pdb -p aGGG.top -f SPE.mdp -o aGGG.tpr -pp aGGGp.top

if you look at aGGGp.top I can't find which parameters were used for

[ dihedrals ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al funct            c0            c1            c2
       c3            c4            c5
    2     1     5     6     9

I.e., for proper dihedral (H1-     N-    CA-   HA1), I can't find
in amber99sb.ff/forcefield.itp any combination that handles parameters for
X-N-CA-X or X-CA-N-X, so how grompp is interpreting this dihedral?

Thanks,

Alan
