I wish I could offer some help. <br/>I used to prepare small compound molecules, and the ligand.frcmod was generated by parmchk of AMBER. The ligand.frcmod was then handed to tleap or xleap of AMBER, to generate ligand.prmtop and ligand.inpcrd. Following that, a python script called "acpype.py" was employed to generate gromacs topology files, and the command is like this:<br/><br/>$python2.7 acpype.py -p ligand.prmtop -x ligand.inpcrd<br/><br/>Then you could find the gromacs structure file ending with .gro and the topology file with .top . However, there're some differences between .top and .itp file. You have to make some changes by hand, such as deleting the first few lines and the ending line of the .top file, to transfer it to a .itp file.
