Hi Justin,

I wonder if you could advice, I am a little further ahead than I was before. I am using an crystal structure .pdb from the protein data bank. There are no hydrogen atoms. I assume, given the pdb2gmx that this is taken care of unless the -ignh is selected.

I am getting a painful error upon running pdb2gmx_d -f 4AUO_mono.pdb -water tip3p

Yet the Amberff99sb aminoacid.rtp file describes PHE as:

I am guessing that there is a bunch of atom mismatches. I am not really sure where to go from here. 

Many thanks

Wow! I am out of date.

As always, thanks for the help Justin.

The gromacs website directs me to the ffamber ports program, which seems to require Gromacs versions 3.1.4, 3.2.1, ..... 4.0. I, however, have access to Gromacs 4.6.1. Must I install an old version of Gromacs? If I must, what kind of issues am I going to face when I take my 3.* generated Gromacs topology file and run it on version 4.6.1? Or is this very out of date and there is something new?

Most of the Amber force fields are supported natively now; there is no need to
download the ffamber ports so that information is indeed outdated.  Amber99-SB
and Amber99-SB-ILDN are both built into Gromacs.
