Dear Justin,

Thanks for you quickly reply.

I have tried before to comment out the section of [ defaults ] in the next itp file, but still too many warnings and final crashed. And i think it would not be the best method to solve this problem, because i have to use ffgmx.itp to deal with DPPC.

Is there any other method i can try?

Thanks

Liang

Quoting liang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Dear User,

i try to perform simulation on membrane protein ( proterin + DPPC ).
And i use OPLS for protein, Berger force field for DPPC.
But after i construct this system, i cannot obtain tpr file by using grompp.

Here is my topol.top :

; protein
#include "ffoplsaa.itp"
#include "protein-opls.itp"

; membrane
#include "ffgmx.itp"
#include "lipid.itp"
#include "dppc.itp"

; Include water topology
#include "spc.itp"

[ system ]
; name
Membrane in water

[ molecules ]
; name  number
Protein        1
DPPC      123
SOL     14189

here is the result:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatal error:
Invalid order for directive defaults, file
""/home/gmx331/share/gromacs/top/ffgmx.itp"", line 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suspect it is a result of using two different force fields. The [ defaults ] will be defined in the first force field (in your case, ffoplsaa.itp), but then
grompp is finding a second [ defaults ] in ffgmx.itp.  See here:

Could you please give me some suggestion?  i appreciate your help.

Thanks so much!
