Olá, Justin, Mark and Osmair. Thanks for help.

Building dipeptide has not been the problem. Actually I need to use atomic coordinates obtained from a previous X-ray crystal structure. For this, I need to give each atom its proper name. That is, I have this: ... ATOM 10 C UNK 1 -2.980 6.010 1.900 1.00 0.00 ATOM 11 C UNK 1 -2.380 5.770 1.130 1.00 0.00 ATOM 12 H UNK 1 -4.050 7.000 1.400 1.00 0.00 ATOM 13 H UNK 1 -3.590 7.740 0.930 1.00 0.00 ATOM 14 H UNK 1 -4.620 6.540 0.740 1.00 0.00 ATOM 15 C UNK 1 -4.930 7.590 2.470 1.00 0.00 ...

and I need something like this:
...
ATOM     10  CG  PHE     1      -2.980   6.010   1.900  1.00  0.00
ATOM     11  CD1 PHE     1      -2.380   5.770   1.130  1.00  0.00
ATOM     12  HD1 PHE     1      -4.050   7.000   1.400  1.00  0.00
ATOM     13  CD2 PHE     1      -3.590   7.740   0.930  1.00  0.00
ATOM     14  HD2 PHE     1      -4.620   6.540   0.740  1.00  0.00
ATOM     15  CE1 PHE     1      -4.930   7.590   2.470  1.00  0.00
...

Of course if I try to use pdb2gmx without assigning these names, the execution fails. I know this should be simple and that there should be several ways to revolve, but it's puzzling me.

Is there any software or script I can use to do that automatically? Any hint is very welcome!


Probably nothing as smart as you need. The main problem was that you had (in your original files) inconsistent numbering (multiple residue names as 1, then 2, then back to 1) and inconsistent names. If you have a dipeptide of Phe-Phe, you don't have Lys and Asp at all, you just have termini, which are easily dealt with in Gromacs if they are simply part of the Phe residue and are given the correct atom names.

    Have a look some MD tutorial material (doesn't have to be GROMACS).
    They probably start with a well-formed PDB file. That's probably a
    better learning experience than trying to read the format description.

    Alternatively, use a molecule builder (search webpage for
    suggestions here) to create the coordinates, and then get pdb2gmx to
    do the rest of the work.

    The idea behind pdb2gmx is that you don't have to move mountains to
    get your termini right, and the corresponding topology. If you just
    give it two adjacent PHE (charged or not), you can tell pdb2gmx what
    termini you want it to have. Done right, this whole task should not
    require you to inspect or change a coordinate file at all.

    Hi Eudes,
    I do not know how work CHARMM force field, but if you use the
    following PDB file
    for your dipeptide using OPLS-AA force field, you can obtain good
    results!.

    Olá Justin, thank you for responding to my post. I had tried what
    you mentioned before. All I get is that the some atoms are missing
    (see error message in the link https://sites.google.com/site/fileti/ ).
    In fact, as I just want NH3+ (from LYS) and COO- (from ASP), the
    other atoms are not included in PDB file and this can give error. If
    I put everything into the same group ("1" for example) many
    of the atoms are deleted by pdb2gmx because they are duplicates.
    In fact I still do not quite understand the logic of creating a PDB
    from the aminoacid residues. I've read some tips on the list but
    still I could not understand.

    That's it. If you have any suggestion, it will be very useful.

    Hello everybody,

    I'm trying to create a dipeptide (L-PHE-L-PHE) from the PHE CHARMM
    residue.

    This dipeptide has a positively charged site (NH3+) and a negatively
    charged

    site (COO-).

    My PDB file ( https://sites.google.com/site/fileti/ ) does not seem
    to be

    consistent

    and produces error when I execute pdb2gmx.



    The link above presents the PDB and the error message from pdb2gmx

    (which I have not found similar in the forum).



    Could someone give me a hand with that?



    Bests

    Your .pdb file contains various broken residues (ASP, LYS) and
    non-sequential

    numbering (i.e., those broken residues are all numbered 1).  Clean
    up the .pdb

    and try again.
