Hello,
I am trying to use a different water model for my proteins (using oplsaa
force field). I use the .itp file which I developed, but pdb2gmx does
not accept it. I am a bit confused on how I can make my water model work
with OPLSaa. Based on what I saw from spc.itp or other samples, do I
need to change the names of my particles in my water .itp file by
including _FF_OPLS?

I don't know how pdb2gmx decides how to recognize water models; it may be hard-coded. In any case, your atom types have to be consistent with OPLS standards; as for whether or not you need the #ifdef _FF_OPLS in your .itp file, you may not need it if OPLS is the only force field with which it will be used. The #ifdef blocks just prevent a GROMOS system from trying to recognize OPLS, etc.
