Dear Justin,

Thanks for replying.

        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?

    ;;

Should they be exactly in the same order as the rtp entry ? The atom type I specified is definitely according to the standard convention of rtp entry. I am using G45a3 as the force field.


Not to my knowledge. As long as all of the expected atoms are there, you shouldn't have a problem.


        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?

;;
No I didnt 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.

;;
The problem I am having is where to modify my coordinate file. The residue doesnot contain a atom type 'O'.

Another curious question I have is suppose if I have another system where the a monomer uint say GLCA (specified in rtp) is connected by a bridging atom say Carbon. Do I need to create a new rtp entry for pdbgmx to work or is there a work around by specifying that carbon as a separate residue ?


The problem comes from this line in ffG45a3.rtp:

 [ impropers ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al   gromos type
   C1    O5    -O    C2     gi_2

Clearly the force field is expecting to assign an improper around carbon C1 using an "O" atom in a previous unit as a reference. I think this may be a typo in the file. The ffG53a6.rtp file has this line for the same improper:

   C1    O5    O1    C2     gi_2

I think this is what was intended. I do not know why the anomeric carbon would be using a previous residue as a reference for assigning an improper. Perhaps this is a bug. Make a local copy of ffG45a3.rtp and fix the line to make it look like the ffG53a6.rtp entry. Please report back if this works; it may need to be fixed for a future release.

Again thanks for replying.

               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

                      Can anyone help me how can I go about preparing

                      file for an

                      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.
