Dear Justin,

I am trying to make topology file for cellulose II. The monomer unit is glucose (residue type GLCA). I do the following:

pdb2gmx -f cellulose.gro


So then your "cellulose.gro" contains all the atoms of GLCA monomers, named exactly as the force field expects them? Have you checked against the .rtp entry? What force field are you using?


I am getting the following error while using pdbgmx.

"Fatal Error:
Atom -O not found in residue 2 while adding improper"

Atom type "O" is actually not part of the GLCA residue. Only atom type OA is part of GLCA residue.

pdb2gmx is complaining about an atom, not an atom type. Somewhere in the .rtp file (probably within the [impropers] section, there should be a line specifying an atom named O that belongs to the preceding residue (hence the minus sign). None of my .rtp files are like this. Did you create a custom .rtp entry?

Do I need to modify the rtp entry to suit my system or does this error corresponds to something else ?


That will depend upon the answers to the above questions. If you created the .rtp entry, then you'll have to fix the problem of naming mismatch. If you're using the standard .rtp entry for the force field, then it's easier to modify your coordinate file to match the naming expected by the force field.

Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

        Dear Mark,

        What I meant over here is the missing oxygen  (-O) which pdbgmx
        complains about is not a part of .rtp entry. There is no such
        type of oxygen specified in any of the .atp entry of the
        forcefield I am using.


    The "-O" is not an atom type, it indicates an oxygen atom of a
    previous residue.  It is still not clear what it is you're doing or
    what the actual problem is. If you want a resolution, you'll have to
    do as Mark asked and post your command line and the actual error
    message.  Remember, you're asking for free help - you have to make
    it easy for us to help you.

               Dear All,

               Can anyone help me how can I go about preparing the topology
               file for an
               infinite crystal of cellulose. I have prepared the .gro
        file for
               5X5X5
               unit cells of cellulose II using GROMACS utility and
        intend to apply
               periodic BC on it. It has a glucose molecule as building
        block
               (GCLA).
               When I try running pdbgmx, I get an error for extra hydrogens
               (which is
               not there in itp file but is actually there in the original
               structure
               which I am using) and missing oxygen (-O).


           People who might help aren't at all interested in your
        description
           of the error message. If the contents of your head were reliable,
           you wouldn't have seen the error in the first place, or would
        have
           solved the issue already. :-) Copy and paste your command
        line, and
           what seems to be the relevant part of the error.

           To use pdb2gmx, you need .rtp file entries that correspond to
        your
           monomers. If not, you will not be able to use pdb2gmx to generate
           your topology files.
