Hi,

I am trying to set up a simulations of short peptides in water, and I want to eliminate the electrostatic interactions of the N-terminal amino group and the C-terminal carboxyl group by capping them, with acetate for the N-terminus and a C-terminal amide.

    I built the PDB file using TINKER (see attached file) but when I run:

    pdb2gmx -f Gly10_Capped.pdb -water tip3p -ignh


You need to specify -ter and choose "None" to add a capping group.

N-terminus: NH3+
C-terminus: COO-

Here's your hint: pdb2gmx is assigning default (charged) termini, which is not what you want.

Now there are 12 residues with 79 atoms

-------------------------------------------------------
Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.0

I would recommend upgrading to the latest version (4.0.5) to take advantage of bug fixes, especially those pertinent to DD stability.

Source code file: pdb2top.c, line: 574

Fatal error:
atom N not found in residue 1ACE while combining tdb and rtp
-------------------------------------------------------

The ACE residue does not have a N atom, either in the pdb file or in ffoplsaa.hdb or in ffoplsaa.rtp, so I don't understand what the problem is.

    Can someone shed some light on this?
