Hi,
I have a protein pdb file with ACE as N-cap and I am trying to use pdb2gmx ( within gromacs 4.5.4 ) to generate a topology file using opls/AA . the ACE is present in opls aminoacids.rtp files. But, on issuing the pdb2gmx command, I get following error message:

Program pdb2gmx_44, VERSION 4.5.4
Source code file: pdb2top.c, line: 1070

Fatal error:
atom N not found in buiding block 1ACE while combining tdb and rtp
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS

I wonder how I can make sure that ACE can be used as N-terminus.


You've somehow constructed the cap wrong. There is no N atom in ACE. Check the .rtp for what's required, check your coordinate file, and make sure you're using "-ter none" with pdb2gmx. If that's still not working, post your command and relevant snippet of your coordinate file.
