[gmx-users] Unknown cmap torsion between atoms

[Xiang Ning]

Dear Justin,

Sorry I missed the reply for yesterday. So the atoms are mostly from my peptide: 319: atom C of VAL, 321: N of ILE, 323: CA of ILE, 338, C of ILE, and one from lipid POPC: 341: atom N of POPC. I just used "pdb2gmx -f box.gro -p box.top" to obtain the top file of the whole system, which including water, protein, lipid and ions. It generated several itp file and one top file. The CMAP is in "box_Protein.itp", which included the itp file of protein and lipid. After that, I ran grompp, and then the problem "unknown cmap torsion" occurred. I think the torsion was because it can not tell apart the last peptide atom and the first lipid atom. Could you please let me know how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!

Best,
Ning

I used "editconf -f protein.gro -o conf.gro -box (my box demension x y z)" and then "genbox -cp conf.gro -cs lipid_water_ion.gro -o box.gro" to remove the overlapped lipids. It looks fine in VWD, no overlap between protein and lipids occurred, but when I ran "grompp -f minim.mdp -c box.gro -p box.top -o box.tpr", it showed "Unknown cmap torsion between atoms 319 321 323 338 341". I try to built the box in several other ways, this problem kept occurring. So I searched for previous solution, and found the patch "0001-Fix-pdb2gmx-merge-cmap.patch" may fix the problem. However, I cannot use this patch because it needs to install in the source directory, but the Gromacs 4.5 I used is installed in our university system, I am not able to put the patch in the source directory.

Or are there any other method can solve the problem for "Unknown cmap torsion between atoms"? I used charmm36 force field for all atom by the way.
