Hello Justin Lemkul,
Thanks for the other time, for your assistance with a problem I was having
concerning
umbrella sampling.
I tried submitting this mail to the users' forum but I got a reply saying I'm not allowed
to send it. I don't know what that is about. But I have decided to forward the mail to
you that you might be able to help clarify it.

discussion be posted there.
A few tips:
1. Upgrade to Gromacs 4.5.3 and try again. No one is usually interested in
troubleshooting old versions.
2. There is no such thing as gromos43a1.ff/residuetypes.dat, so if you're
creating or modifying some such file, it will have no effect. You should have
residuetypes.dat in $GMXLIB or your working directory for it to work properly.
It is also possible that you haven't created a proper entry, but you haven't
provided that information.
3. Your pdb2gmx command line, choices of anything for which you are prompted,
and the actual error message that you're getting would be useful (read: necessary).

Thanks a lot.

pdb2gmx problem recognising capping on Gromacs 4.5.2

Dear Gromacs user,
I am trying to set alanine dipeptide up on Gromacs 4.5.2 but I am having
problems doing this.
The coordinate is composed of ACE-ALA-NME, where ACE is acetyl capping (N-terminus), and NME
is N-methyl capping (C-terminus). I was able to perform the simulation successfully on Gromacs
4.0.7 after I defined a topology for the NME in ffG43a1 (the forcefield I am
using) and updated
the aminoacids.dat. However, I tried to repeat the same study on Gromacs 4.5.2
and couldn't get
past pdb2gmx even after I made the necessary changes to
/top/gromos43a1.ff/residuetypes.dat and
top/gromos43a1.ff/aminoacids.rtp. It is as if the new release does not
recognised non-standard
residue definition in the aminoacids.rtp file seeing it gave no complaint about
ACE; just NME.
I searched the archives for similar reporting noticed how Justin Lemkul suspected this might be
a bug in the new Gromacs releases. I am wondering if someone finally found a way round this problem
and will be willing to share the experience. I will be grateful for it.
When I skipped the pdb2gmx step by supplying the topol.top file generated with
Gromacs 4.0.7 the
simulation went smoothly.
