This message seems clear and explicit to me. It is true that "NA" doesn't match "Na" for a case-sensitive comparison. So like it tells you, the "atom names" in your structure file don't match your topology. Computers are literal, so you should get used to working reproducibly and accurately. Curiously enough, that's good advice for science too! :-) Mark _______________________________________________ gmx-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
