Well, ffG43a2 is a GROMOS FF too! So look at the topology and you'll see that
it also misses some NON_POLAR hydrogens. You probably generated you itp
file using pdb2gmx and got a gro file with it. Then the absence of H did not
appear!

The H that are involved in H-bonding are explicitly represented in GROMOS FF. The ones that are united are the NON-POLAR ones, typically in CH3/CH2 and CH
groups! Check the ffG43a2.rtp file, it contains residues topologies ...

Again I would suggest you get into some literature before going on. One day
reading some papers on the GROMOS FF would be instructive :))

Hi XAvier,

Thanks for the reply. Actually I want to use this ligand with a protein and run the complex using ffG43a2 force-field of GROMACS4.0.7. So is it correct to leave away those 3 hydrogens HA, HB1 and HB2, which are not explicitly described? Because in protein- ligand complexes, hydrogen bond formations between the ligand and the protein are important? So should I continue with this .itp file with 3 less hydrogens?
Thanks again.

Anirban

You have the proper itp file for the GROMOS FF. Some H are not explicitly

Hi, XAvier,

Sorry for that mistake. Yes, exactly PRODRG is not giving the non- polar hydrogens. There I am using the GROMOS96.1 FF. So is there any way to get the proper .itp file? I mean any other online server like PRODRG? Or How can I derive the proper .itp file manually?
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

Anirban

You are missing HB1 and HB2, not HB2 and HB3 :))

This is due to the force field our are using. Gromos I presume: it
uses the united H idea: non-polar H are not explicitly modeled.

you should be able to erase those from your gro file, but I would
suggest you get into some literature about the FF you use.

I derived the topology file from PRODRG server. However the .itp file is giving only 22 atoms definition and 3 of the hydrogen atoms are missing:

So you can see that HA, HB2 and HB3 hydrogens are missing here. So I am getting error messages popped by grompp commands. How can I get the definition of those missing 3 H atoms? Is it ok if I delete those 3 H atoms from my .gro file and proceed? If not then how to derive parameters for them? Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Anirban
