Hello,

I am trying to add ethanol as a new residue to CGenFF force field in gromacs. Basically, I need to bring this information from charmm rtf file to the gromacs format. This is the information taken from rtf file of charmm.

RESI ETOH          0.00 ! C2H6O Ethanol, adm jr.
GROUP
ATOM C1   CG321    0.05 !  H21  H11 H12
ATOM O1   OG311   -0.65 !     \   \  /

ATOM H11  HGA2     0.09 !     /      \
ATOM H12  HGA2     0.09 !  H23        O1--HO1

ATOM C2   CG331   -0.27

IC C2   C1   O1   HO1   0.0000  0.0000 180.0000  0.0000  0.0000

I have added The ATOM and BOND information to the aminoacid.rtp file. 
I thought that the rest of the information are optional and pdb2gmx doesn't complain while generating the topology. But when I use the topology and gro file to do a minimization. The molecule bonds break apart and what I see is an exploded molecule.

So I thought probably the rest of the information are important too, for example: 
DONO HO1 O1
ACCE O1

But I dont know where to put them. 
Thanks
G.
