Dear Justin and Abhijit,

Thanks a lot for your help. Now I am able to make the topology file but while doing grompp for energy minimisation its not taking the dihedral values on its own.

Regards
Sukriti

Hi Sukriti,
 Copy the oplsaa.ff directory to your working directory. Then in
ffnonbonded.itp file add the following lines..
 opls_995   C      6    12.01100     0.000       A    3.40000e-01
3.61200e-01
 opls_996   C      6    12.01100     0.000       A    3.40000e-01
3.61200e-01
 opls_997   C      6    12.01100     0.000       A    3.40000e-01
3.61200e-01

Then in   atomname2type.n2t file add the following lines.
C    opls_995    0      12.011  2    C  0.142  C 0.142
C    opls_996    0      12.011  3    C  0.142  C 0.142  C 0.142
C    opls_997    0      12.011  1    C  0.142

Then use g_x2top. This will work.

Thanks
 Abhijit
