Sorry, there was a little mistake in the reported output of grompp in my previous email. It should be as follows:
###################### Warning: atom names in protein.top and final.gro don't match (CD2 - HD1) Warning: atom names in protein.top and final.gro don't match (CE1 - CD2) Warning: atom names in protein.top and final.gro don't match (NE2 - CE1) Warning: atom names in protein.top and final.gro don't match (HE2 - NE2) WARNING 2 [file "protein.top", line 35]: 4 non-matching atom names atom names from protein.top will be used atom names from final.gro will be ignored ###################### On Nov 30, 2007 3:30 PM, himanshu khandelia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I am not being able to debug a little problem.
