Hi Gromacs Friends,
  I am doing the justin-lipid tutorial..Link to the tutorial is ...
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/index.html

I made the g96_53a6_lipid force field as per the instruction of tutorial..

I have some queris regarding to these new force field

1.  As we added the lipid parameter to the force field and so
     I thought to use these force field to dppc to make topology
     instead of downloading the topol_dppc.top given by justin.

    So my command line was
   pdb2gmx -f dppc128.gro -p kkk.top -o kkk.gro -i kkk.itp -ignh


I got the reply

Fatal error:
Something is wrong in the coordinate formatting of file dppc128.gro. Note that
gro is fixed format (see the manual)
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
-------------------------------------------------------



I check the gro format .It is  right as per my knowledge  ..

What is the reason for such error???


Your impression of the correctness of your .gro file is mistaken. Something is wrong, otherwise pdb2gmx would not complain. There is also no need to run pdb2gmx on a pure DPPC membrane; a simple topology is provided in the tutorial for pure lipids.


And can I used that force field to generate the dppc topology instaed of
downloading it from tutorial link..
(As we made the changes in force field to adjust with lipid ....)


If you changed any of the .rtp settings, then you need to use pdb2gmx. If you made changes to dppc.itp, then pdb2gmx will do nothing to help you and you should use the approach mentioned above to obtain your topology.
