[gmx-users] pdb2gmx do not work for unstable conformations

Dear Gromacs,I have a protein PDB structure as well as its mutants PDB, predicted by Rosetta with different ddG. After running pdb2gmx, I found that the structures with lower ddG (more stable) all perform okay; while structures with higher ddG (less stable) got fatal error:


Fatal error:
Residue 1 named ASP of a molecule in the input file was mapped
to an entry in the topology database, but the atom N used in
that entry is not found in the input file. Perhaps your atom
and/or residue naming needs to be fixed.


For example, I got fatal error for:
gmx pdb2gmx -f HC_V215W.pdb -o HC_V215W_processed.gro -water spce -inter -ignh -merge interactive

But it works fine for: 
gmx pdb2gmx -f C226S.pdb -o C226S_processed.gro -water spce -inter -ignh -merge interactive
 (just change to another stable mutant, but the first residue ASP is the same)


But I could not figure out the exact reasons for the fatal error.


I have attached two stable PDB and two unstable PDB:

Could you please help me to find out the reasons?


Thank you very much.


Yours sincerely
