[gmx-users] Error in generating a gromacs structure file for Arginine

Have you looked at the residue database file? aminoacids.rtp That is
what the error is telling you to do, ensure that your residue(s) match
up with what is in the residue database.

First off, atom type OXT is not in any of the arginine residues listed
there. Second you have a choice of three arginine residues, ARG, CARG
NARG. Your amino acid molecule doesn't fall into any of those.  You
probably need to use CARG with a NH2 residue, I think that will get
you what you want. Check to see that the atom and residue names in
your pdb match up with the entries in the aminoacids.rtp, then should
be good to go.

Catch ya,
