Hi, I run pdb2gmx (with all the ff that Gromacs bring by default) on myoglobin (1A6M.pdb) wich I get from the "protein data bank". and I got the following

Fatal error:
Residue 'OXY' not found in residue topology database

I check the ff and I did not found the oxigen molecule.
I saw that somebody allready use this molecule in the mailing list:

On Tue, 18 Jun 2002, Valentin Gogonea

Is there a chance to contact him?

If this individual still subscribes to this list after all these years, you may get a reply.

Is this molecule in any other ff?

Not typically. The force fields included in Gromacs are generally designed for condensed-phase species like proteins, nucleic acids, and small organics.

How can I fix this?

That depends on your definition of "fix." If you need to simulate myoglobin with oxygen bound, you may be in for the difficult (read: very advanced!) topic of parameterization:

With special consideration of the fact that the oxygen is probably bound to 
heme:

How can I take the OXI and SO4 molecules out of my .pdb file without making mistakes?

That depends on your definition of "mistake." Whether or not these molecules are relevant to your dynamics is a decision only you can make.

Hopping to be clear.
Thanks in advance
