Will I write two .rtp files for two different molecules ? or Will I write one rtp file that includes all parameters of these two molecules ? And how can I use the rtp file when creating the input files ( .gro and .top ) ?


Read the manual, section 5.6.1.

Thanks in advance

    You're stuck either writing an .rtp entry for use with pdb2gmx, or
    writing the .itp yourself.

    OPLS-AA.  Depending on the complexity of your molecule, you may be
    able to use an .rtp entry, but I would suggest processing a single
    molecule of this type with pdb2gmx to create a .top for that
    molecule (which can be converted to a .itp for later use).<<
