Hello Gmx Usrs,

I am new to Gromacs. I am trying to simulate a protein-membrane
complex using  berger-oplsaa combination . I have created a topology

Have you properly modified the Berger parameters for use with OPLS-AA? Otherwise, the results you will get will be nonsense :)

file for the protein using pdb2gmx in order to then build up the
topology for my system using the include file mechanism.
After that I tried to use my system.top in grompp ( grompp -f xx.mdp
-c system.pdb -p system.top -o out.tpr ) but I get a warning about
atoms in top and pdb does not match. I went trough the mailing list

Is system.pdb the cleaned up output from pdb2gmx?

It is also better to post the actual error message. The topology and coordinate file may not match in terms of atom names or in terms of the number of coordinates, which are both very different problems. I guess you are referring to a naming mismatch?

but I have still doubt. I checked where were the differences. It seems
that the order of the aromatic ring in the pdb and in the top didn't
match.

To be clear (tyr as example but the same problem occur with his):

.pdb  .top
 N         N
 HN        H

If this is what's in your .pdb file, then you aren't using the pdb2gmx output, are you?

 CA       CA
 HA       HA
 CB       CB
 HB1     HB1
 HB2     HB2
 CG       CG
 CD1     CD1
 HD1     HD1
 CE1     CD2
 HE1     HD2
 CZ      CE1
 OH      HE1
 HH      CE2
 CD2     HE2
 HD2      CZ
 CE2      OH
 HE2      HH
 C            C
 O           O

Is this because the .top seems follow the order presents in the rtp
file that I have (am I right?).

Yes, pdb2gmx will output according to the .rtp entry.

Assuming that this is the case I am wondering if changing the atoms
order in the rtp from:

[ TYR ]
 [ atoms ]
    N    opls_238   -0.500     1

   O    opls_236   -0.500     9

can that have a further effect since it seems that the file handling
is based on line position and not atoms name.


If you re-arrange the .rtp file, you'll have to start all over again, since only pdb2gmx uses the .rtp files. I doubt this is meaningful. If you've got a .pdb file with HN as the amide proton, then it won't match the topology, which specifies this atom as H. There will still be a name mismatch, but not an order mismatch, which simply indicates to me that you are using the wrong coordinate file.
