Hi

I have a geometry in a textfile which looks like that:

N                     2.823790   -0.041893    0.737832
C                     3.563329   -1.141307    0.332899
O                     4.781032   -1.165954    0.346660

You see the atom and then three spatial coordinates. I renamed it to file.pdb an give it into gromacs by pdb2gmx -f file.pdb but it did not work. How I have to change this input file?


The file must adhere to correct PDB format; you can't simply rename it.

Spacing matters. Also, if you want pdb2gmx to create a topology, you'll have to create an .rtp entry for it and likely an .hdb entry as well to build an intact molecule. Please refer to the following resources (in addition to the manual, Chapter 5):

My first aim is to do an energy minimization.
