It would be helpful if all of this was on one thread, with replies embedded. I have sent several replies to your questions, all of which have gone unacknowledged. It makes it very difficult for anyone (myself or someone else) to give advice if we don't know what you're doing or what you've tried. Even if something didn't work based on what I, or anyone else, tells you, it is nice to know that "I tried this, but I still have a problem, which is shown here: (exact error/warning/problem)."

As I've said before, exact procedural details of what you've done are essential for sorting out strange problems like this. This means - *exact* (copy and paste) command lines from pdb2gmx, and any error messages you receive. Also, any manipulations you have made to your input .pdb file. It seems to me that you've probably edited your file to have only one chain identifier, and hence why pdb2gmx is trying to make everything one molecule.

The -merge option of pdb2gmx is what you want (see pdb2gmx -h). If the following command line doesn't work, it would be nice to see an exact reason (i.e., copy/paste from the error/warning/whatever):

pdb2gmx -f (input).pdb -ignh -ter -merge

I got the above to work perfectly on an insulin structure I found in the RCSB (1ZNI), after deleting chains C and D from the .pdb file. If your structure continues to give you headaches, try this one to make sure that your Gromacs installation is working properly (something I inquired about several days ago...)

HI,

When I use the merge command along with pdb2gmx to form inter disulphide bonds between two different chains, its removing a water molecule to connect the two ends. Its like forming a peptide bond which I dont wish. Is there any way to tell to gromacs, to create the inter dishulphide bonds without creating the peptide bond between the two chains ?

    Hi,

    I have three di sulphide bonds in my crystal structure. In the
    topology file it left blanks at the corresponding sulphur
    connectivities (i.e., values corresponding to gb_, ga_. gd_ ).
    When I try to create the .tpr file it complains the following:
