Hi,
I did the same and the simulations work properly! I think it's a matter of labels.

Not entirely. It is a matter of force fields, which sometimes have different atom nomenclature. The dmso.itp file assumes one is using ffgmx. If using Gromos96, the atom types, and perhaps even some of the parameters might have to be changed. There is a paper published about a very good DMSO model using Gromos96; I would suggest checking the parameters therein to be sure you're actually using a valid model, and not some Frankenforcefield :)

    Hi,

    I presume that there is a bug in gromacs-4.0.5.

    When tried to run simulations with DMSO molecules there was an error
    report, which said:

    "Fatal error:
    Atomtype SD not found"

    I checked extensively for the problem, and found that there is a
    small error in the dmso.itp file present in
    $GROMACS_INSTALL_DIR/share/gromacs/top/

    Line 5 - 10 in dmso.itp file reads,

    [ atoms ]
    ;   nr    type   resnr  residu  atom    cgnr    charge
        1     SD     1      DMSO    SD      1        0.139
        2     CD     1      DMSO    CD1     1        0.16
        3     OD     1      DMSO    OD      1       -0.459
        4     CD     1      DMSO    CD2     1        0.16

    I needed to change that to -

    [ atoms ]
    ;   nr    type   resnr  residu  atom    cgnr    charge  mass
        1     SDmso  1      DMSO    SD      1        0.139  32.06000
        2     CDmso  1      DMSO    CD1     1        0.16   15.03500
        3     ODmso  1      DMSO    OD      1       -0.459  15.99940
        4     CDmso  1      DMSO    CD2     1        0.16   15.03500

    Please note that the name of the type needed to be changed.

    I am not sure if I was doing something wrong, or something was
    erroneous in GROMACS. However, the above changes makes it work.

    I just thought I would report this issue so that users know where
    the problem is. I would like to request the GROMACS team to take
    note of it and do the needful.

    Thanks,

    Saikat B.
