For what it may be worth, the http://www.somewhereville.com/?p=114 page has had its ion.itp content corrected and, hopefully, it is now a little less useless than it was yesterday. Having fought a bit with the install process myself, I hope people find the ffamber/gromacs page of use and if they find errors or concerns to please bring them up (thanks Alan!).

Answering my self:

My ions.itp file was wrong. The correction is:

[ atoms ]
; id type resnr residue atom cgnr charge mass 1 amber99_30 1 Cl Cl 1 -1 35.45000
#endif

and so on.

Since I got my ions.itp from amber_ions.txt from
http://www.somewhereville.com/?p=114 it's also wrong there.

Basically, the error is that column cgnr is exchanged with column charge.

Hi List,
To people using ffamber.
I have ffamber with ions.itp modified to recognise ffamber ions. All seems
fine and working.
So, I have a protein, net charge +4 e. In the pdb file there no ions and no
water. I modify the pdb as said in ffamber instructions. All fine.
Then, I add water and hence I use genion to neutralise my system. I add 4
Cl. All fine.
However when using grompp for preparing the inputs for a minimisation, I got a warning saying that my system is now +8 e. It happens no matter what ion I use with ffamber (being it pos or neg, or value 2). It's like if genion were
counting only the ions and not reading the ion's charge value.
I know it's reading my modified ions.itp file because otherwise genion will
fail to process.
Has someone else seen that? Any comments?
Despite this, I can minimise and carry on MD on my system. Is there any
other to definitely know if GMX is computing the right charge values?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Alan

p.s. Damian apologizes for the delay.
p.p.s. Have you backed up lately?
