Fellow gmx users,

I am trying to create a topology file for TFE using the olpsaa/l force field to simulate a peptide in a mixed solvent. I created a molecule.itp file (as it was suggested in the manual), a molecule.gro file for TFE and I was able to place the several TFE and water molecules in a box. When I ran grompp before equilibrating the system, the program was expecting a topology file, so I created one instead of the .itp file. After trying grompp once again, I received an error message that read:

The idea is that the .itp file can be #included in multiple .top files.

-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 3.3.1
Source code file: toppush.c, line: 1180

Fatal error:
Incorrect number of parameters - found 4, expected 6 or 12.
-------------------------------------------------------

This is being caused by the R-B dihedrals. (This error message should be improved, gromacs team.) Your [ dihedrals ] have only four parameters, and they need 6 (or 12 for a free-energy perturbation calculation), so go back and find what you did wrongly.

My topology file is attached to this message. I left the second dihedral parameters blank since there are no planar entities in TFE, and the [ pairs ] have a value of zero since the opls forcefield calculates 1-4 interactions by scaling.

That sounds like asking for grompp to incorporate functions that evaluate to zero, rather than the pertinent defaults. I'd read the manual carefully, and probably eliminate these [ pairs ].
