[gmx-users] Fatal Error: Unknown bond_atomtype OS. Simulating membrane protein in DPC micelle. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi all,

I'm a new user of Gromacs. I have completed the first two tutorials  ('Lysozyme in Water' and the 'KALP-15 in DPPC')by Justin Lamkul recently.

Now, I'm trying to simulate a membrane protein (1RKL) in a micelle of DPC. I have collected the DPC micelle (m65.pdb - 65 DPC molecules)  from Dr. Tieleman's lab website. I also collected the 'dpc.itp' file from the same website. I'm trying to do this simulation following the 'KALP-15 in DPPC' tutorial.

I have oriented the protein in correct direction and done 'pdb2gmx' on the protein molecule. Then, I modified the gromos force field (ffbonded and ffnonbonded) and the topology (topol.top) file following the tutorial.

I have prepared the DPC topology file (topol_dpc.top) by modifying the 'topol_dppc.top' file provided at that tutorial.

I hope I haven't done any mistake upto that point.

Now, I'm stuck in Step-3 (1. Orient the protein and membrane).
When I was using the grompp command (gmx grompp -f minim.mdp -c m65.gro -p topol_dpc.top -o em.tpr), I am getting an error message saying-

"Unknown bond_atomtype OS"

Then I checked the 'dpc.itp' file, and found that in some places of that file 'OS' atomtype is mentioned, but in the "atomtypes.atp" file in the gromos forcefield, I didn't find any atomtype "OS" defined.

I'm stuck in this stage. How to solve this? Do I have to modify the dpc.itp file or the atomtype.atp file?

Please, HELP!!!


Here I'm attaching the part of the dpc.itp & the atomtype.atp file

Thanks in advance!!!
[Note: In my last question Dr. Lemkul helped me but I couldn't thank him as I couldn't find a way to reply him. I want to thank all of you who are working hard to develop and improve these software and constantly helping us and each other, a BIG THANKS!!!]

Best,
Arifuzzaman Tapash
