[gmx-users] pdb (CTAB) into .GRO

[Smith, Micholas D.]

Justin is right, x2top is not "smart" but it can get you in the point you in a helpful direction.

The only word of caution here is that you have to still tell x2top what
everything's charges and connectivities are, meaning you have to
pre-parametrize those interactions. x2top isn't smart enough to actually
do the hardest work for you, it just spits out a topology with a quality
equal to what you tell it :)
