Dear Users,

In the gromacs manual on means to convert the pdb file to gromacs topology file I need to use pdb2gmx. Here I have to specify the force field .How to work with organic residues which do not exists . Since I had used general amber force field, and could not find this in the /share/top/ directory . Do I need to manually construct the .itp file for each residues. What will be the easiest way to construct
a solvated box with user defined residues in gromacs.


If the residue of interest will be a component of a polymeric molecule like a protein, refer to http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Adding_a_Residue_to_a_Force_Field. If the molecule is a standalone species like a ligand, solvent, etc then all you have to do is #include an .itp file in the system topology.
