thanks justin and alan.

i also had the suspicion that the error is caused by case sensitivity. simply replacing all atom types from lower to upper case within the ligand.itp file yields the same error: "missing gb parameters".


using the "--disambiguate" option for the parameterization with acpype has exactly no effect. the generated *_GMX.itp file still contains the same lower case letters for each atom type. am i doing something wrong?


when using the "-atom amber" option (amber99sb instead of gaff), i do get upper case types, which are not always the same as given with "-a gaff". however, again, i am told by grompp, that GB parameters are missing for 15 atom types. and again, most of theese atom types ARE included in the respective gbsa.itp file (in share/gromacs/top/amber99sb.ff), but few are not.

and according to those atom types that are not mentioned in grompp's error output: about half of them is listed in gbsa.itp while the other ones are not.

i can't see any correlation between the atom types listed in my parameterized molecule's itp-file and the entries in gbsa.itp.

does anyone have any idea? is there perhaps some other force field/database file that is checked apart from gbsa.itp?!

thanks again,

vedat

Hi there,

look at 'acpype -h', in particular:

-g, --disambiguate disambiguate lower and uppercase atomtypes in GMX top
                        file

    hi guys,

    i'm trying to simulate some receptor ligand system with implicit
    solvent using gbsa in order to get a quick folding of some tens of
    N-terminal peptides. this works pretty well with the target only
    applying the amber99sb FF. as soon as i try to simulate it
    together with the ligand which was parameterized with acpype
    (using amber-antechamber), i get the following error at the grompp
    step:

    GB parameter(s) missing or negative for atom type 'cc'
    GB parameter(s) missing or negative for atom type 'n'
    ...
    Fatal error:
    Can't do GB electrostatics; the implicit_genborn_params section of
    the forcefield is missing parameters for 15 atomtypes or they
    might be negative.


    the atom types in the error output are exactly those listed in the
    [ atom types ] section of the ligand's topology file created with
    acpype/antechamber. however, the atom types mentioned here ARE
    listed in the respective gbsa.itp file which looks like this:


    [ implicit_genborn_params ]

    ; atype      sar      st     pi       gbr       hct
    ...
    CC           0.172    1      1.554    0.1875    0.72 ; C


    does anybody know how to handle this problem?

    and is there someone that can tell me how (with which parameter
    values) to add GAFF atom types like e.g. "ss", "hn", "hx", "os" to
    the gbsa.itp file?

    thanks in advance and take care
