Hello everyone,
Thanks to Justin Lemkul and Thomas Schlesier for replying to my question in vol. 65 issues 96 and 98. I am trying to convert a pdb file to a gro file using pdb2gmx -f waters.pdb -o waters.gro and I get the message:

Select the Force Field:
 0: GROMOS96 43a1 force field
 1: GROMOS96 43a2 force field (improved alkane dihedrals)
 2: GROMOS96 45a3 force field (Schuler JCC 2001 22 1205)
 3: GROMOS96 53a5 force field (JCC 2004 vol 25 pag 1656)
 4: GROMOS96 53a6 force field (JCC 2004 vol 25 pag 1656)
 5: OPLS-AA/L all-atom force field (2001 aminoacid dihedrals)
 6: [DEPRECATED] Gromacs force field (see manual)
 7: [DEPRECATED] Gromacs force field with hydrogens for NMR
 8: Encad all-atom force field, using scaled-down vacuum charges
9: Encad all-atom force field, using full solvent charges I don't want to use any of these force fields. I want to use the charmm27 one. How do I select that? Do I need to modify the code? If so, where do I find it?

I believe the CHARMM force fields are in the development version of the code (which you can get through git - see the website). CHARMM will officially be supported in version 4.1, I believe.

Also, I read in a Spidertoxin tutorial that editconf can be used to convert a .pdb file to a .gro file. I tried this but error message says: "No velocities found." I know that pdb files generally do not have velocities and these velocities can be generated by setting genvel=yes in the mdp file. How can a .pdb file contain initial velocities?


That's not an error, really. A .pdb file cannot, by virtue of its format, contain velocities. You have it right that you need "gen_vel = yes" to get started, once you've reached grompp.

Thank you,
