[gmx-users] grompp protein-ligand complex simulation

[Adamu, Aliyu]

Thanks Justin for the response. no my protein does not have any Zn2+ bound. as for the alteration of files I only added my ligand topology (dog.itp) in the topology file, also i combined my protein and ligand gromacs coordinate files. this is because i am following  Justin's tutorial for protein-Ligand complex MD simulation but using OPLS-AA forcefield. I check my files very carefully several times, but could not figure out what seems to be wrong. please guid me how to fix this.

many thanks
Aliyu Adamu

Well, there's no mention of Zn2+ anywhere in the distributed OPLS-AA files, so
you must have altered something somewhere.  Does your protein have Zn2+ bound?
Did you alter any other files?  There's ZN2+ in GROMOS and Zn in AMBER, but
nothing called Zn2+.  Be sure you're not mixing and matching force fields...

Your #include statement is in the wrong place in the topology.
