Hello Gromacs Users:

    I apologize for asking a question that has come up several times in the
    forum, but I have read the answers to those posts and I am not still
    unable to fix the error based on the suggestions in the previous emails.
    It is completely possible that I am just not seeing the obvious, so I 
apologize,
    but I would welcome any advice. I just have a methylated glycine that I 
would like to use (SAR) within a
    peptide with the AMBER force field, but when I try to build the cyclic
    compound it writes out:

    Fatal error:
    Atom CB is used in an interaction of type atom in the topology
    database, but an atom of that name was not found in residue
    number 7.

    However, my residue 7 should not have a CB atom, I'm not seeing it in my
    pdb file or the .rtp file (impropers section or otherwise). Perhaps that
    residue is being skipped, but all of my atoms are "ATOM" rather than
    HETATM, and I don't have any tabs messing up the fields.


this is the SAR (residue 7) section in my .rtp file

    Thank you for your advice,


If I recall correctly, the residue number printed by pdb2gmx is actually the residue index (starting from zero), so the problematic residue is MLE, which does have CB.
