Hi Martinez,

pdb2gmx doesn't do that for you. grompp does. With the specbond.dat
you let pdb2gmx find the bonds and list them in the topology. When
running grompp, it will apply a default bond/angle/dihedral type for
bonds/angles/dihedrals listed, but for which no parameters are given,
based on the [ default_*s ]. You can check whether grompp did a good
job by using the -po option, which should contain the full topology as
it is constructed for and present inside the .tpr file. This means
without any #defines, #includes, etc..., everything filled in
explicitly. Sorry I wasn't clear on this point.

Best,

Tsjerk

so that pdb2gmx can make bonds between the different residues.
I also edited my ff...bon.itp file to specify the bondtypes/angletypes
but my problem is that  pdb2gmx does not specify the bondtype/angletype
in the topology file, so I guess I did something wrong when I specified
the bontypes,etc.. in the ff...bon.itp file. How does pdb2gmx "find"
the bondtype/angletype for these special bonds in the ff...bon.itp
file?
For the histidine ligand, what i had to do is edit the pdb and rename
the his residue that bonds iron HI2, I couldn't get the histidines in
the special atom matrix.

Thanks in advance
