 So you have created the gro.file . I have tried your pdb.file again but it 
still can not create the gro.file. It is really strange. Can you show me the 
gro.file created based on the pdb.file?


The .gro I created was:

Gyas ROwers Mature At Cryogenic Speed
    8
    1DNA     Ab    1   0.058   0.052   0.000

   0.00000   0.00000   0.00000

When running editconf (using the .pdb I pasted below), it correctly detects 8 
atoms.

Thank you.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your reply. I have followed the regular forms about pdb file but 
it still shows that :

___> Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
Opening library file /usr/share/gromacs/top/atommass.dat

Then you haven't followed the format correctly.

I created the following from your original .pdb file:

ATOM      1  Ab   DNA           0.575    0.516     0.051   1.0  0.0

END

It successfully creates a .gro file.

So I think it is because that the atom types such as Sugar ,Adenine base are 
not recognized  by the gromacs .Also, what I want to solve is that how to 
define these big atoms .

Do you know how to define these big atoms in order to make the gromacs  
recognize them and creat the correct gro.file

Thank you .

END

not very complex, only 8 atoms .  And I find these atoms are not included in 
the gromacs so i defined them in the .atp file this

 Ab  134.1;   Adenine base of DNA
 Tb  125.1;   Thymine base of DNA
 S   83.11;   Sugar of DNA
 P   94.97;   Phosphate of DNA


The .atp file means nothing for editconf.

 Can anyone of you help me sovle this problem?

It looks like the formatting of your .pdb file is irregular.  A fixed format is
required for proper detection of atoms and coordinates.  See here:
