Dear All,


I'm trying to create gro and .top files using pdb2gmx. I created n-dodecane.pdb using Chem3D and got 100 molecules using packmol. I added TER cards between each seperate molecules. Then I tried to get gro and .top files using the commands in below :


pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top


pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.packmol100.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top ( added TER cards )


pdb2gmx –ff G43a2 –f n-dodecane.packmol100.pdb –o n-dodecane.gro –p n-dodecane.top


I couldn't get gro and .top files. Could you please help me to get gro and .top files successfuly ? I also need some information about using packmol pdb file in Gromacs. I want to run md for 100 n-dodecane molecules.



You will not be able to use pdb2gmx to generate a topology unless the relevant molecules/residues are defined in your force field's .rtp file.

When posting questions, it is best to include the actual error message instead of "it didn't work" or some such equivalent.

You could probably use the PRODRG server to generate a topology for a simple molecule like n-dodecane.

If you have a .pdb file from Packmol, it can be used within Gromacs without any further modification (.gro is not necessary). You just need an appropriate topology for the system.

Thank you very much for your attention.



Sincerely
