however i got this error

*Opening library file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/ff_dum.itp

ERROR 1 [file ffgmxbon_lipid.itp, line 756]:
  Invalid directive DPPC

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.4
Source code file: topio.c, line: 415

Fatal error:
Syntax error - File ffgmxbon_lipid.itp, line 757
Last line read:

can i know what this error mean and how to overcome it?? thanks.


You have serious errors in your topology. Without seeing it, there's nothing else anyone can really suggest except for having a thorough read through Chapter 5. The topology must follow a specific order, which you likely have not followed. A simple DPPC topology is available as part of my membrane protein tutorial:
