Hi,

Thank you Chris for the helpful answer! I have modified the atomtype names to follow dmpc.itp, which is more familiar to me, but those names are also the same as popc.itp. There is probably something wrong with the way I did it because although the "atomtype not found" errors have stopped, I am getting "no default bond types (lines 68-86) / angle types (lines 138, 147) / proper dihedral types (lines 161-167)". My modified dpc_double_pairlist.itp file is attached below.

In general, you should always post your relevant files with your question. It makes it easier for us to answer you. That said, I happen to have already used DPC and here is what I have done. I made a new dpc_rename.itp and it is quite different, but should simulate the exact same. Here is the beginning of the atoms section

and then you need to make modifications to the other sections so that the parameters are found appropriately.

Hi Gromacs users,

I am trying to simulate a protein with a micelle, and have used dpc.itp
from Dr. Tieleman's site.  I have also introduced parts of lipid.itp
into ffoplsaanb.itp and ffoplsaabon.itp in accordance with Chris Neale's
half-epsilon double-pairlist method.  But when I issue a grompp command
for minimization, grompp gives a fatal error that the "Bonded/nonbonded
atom type 'CH3' not found!".  This atom type CH3 is present in dpc.itp.
I am now wondering if I can match this to some existing atom in the
oplsaa and how I might go about choosing which atom.

I would be grateful for your advice, and am happy to attach files if needed.

Cheers,
Soo Mei
