There are numerous utilities that generate .pdb files; it is not true to say that .pdb files only contain proteins/peptides. A .pdb file is simply a coordinate format; it can contain anything.

SiO2. Your structure file (.gro) for SiO2 may be in the fftw library files (or whatever forcefield you're using). Hope that helps.

What do you mean by this? FFTW has nothing to do with force fields or structures of any sort. And certainly none of the force fields distributed with Gromacs will topologies for SiO2, since they are primarily biomolecular. They may contain atom types related to SiO2, however, but probably not pre-built topologies, and certainly not coordinate files.

    Dear all

    I am a new user of Gromacs. I am interested to simulate amorphous
    SiO_2 and I would like to know if someone can send me the .pdb and
    .top files.

    Thanks in advance
