I would suggest filing a bugzilla. It appears that the -chainsep option is not as flexible as might be desired.

Dear Gromacs Users,

Justin, I took your advice and using 4.5.1.

I have attached the PDB file for your consideration.

Command : newpdb2gmx -f chainABCRST.pdb -p dimertop.top -o dimerpdb.pdb -chainsep interactive -ignh

But this selection works (for the same above command, 1 )

After ABC , I include a 'TER', then start chain RST, and make 'chainsep ter'

2. newpdb2gmx -f chainABCRSTter.pdb -p dimertop.top -o dimerpdb.pdb -chainsep ter -ignh
Program newpdb2gmx, VERSION 4.5.1

Fatal error:

The residue are not in sequential Order , but i dont think that is the problem here.

Thank you.

Best,

    want RST to be merged into a single molecular topology. I am either
    able to merge RS or ST or RT but not the trimer as such.

    How is the .pdb set up?  Does it have both chain ID's and TER
    delimiters?  What was your pdb2gmx command line?
