[gmx-users] Minimization Problem

Where did you obtain the topology from? What forcefield is it meant to
be used with?  Does that forcefield include bonds between those atom
types?

The error is occurring because when grompp goes through the topology,
it cannot match up the atom types that are bonded together, with an
existing bond within the forcefield.

Easiest solution is to get a topology for that molecule, for the
forcefield you want to use, that someone else has built. Or you could
specify that bonds yourself within the topology.
Catch ya,
