Dear Gromacs Users.


I apologize for asking a question that has come up several times by numerous users in the 
previous e-mails, but I have read the answers and suggestions to those posts and I am not 
still able to solve the problem based on them. It is completely possible that I am just 
not seeing the obvious, so I apologize, but I would welcome any advice. I want to work on 
"Human Glutathione Peroxidase" and downloaded its pdb file, but when I try 
pdb2gmx, I face Fatal Error:

Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file:
/build/buildd/gromacs-4.5.5/src/kernel/pgutil.c, line: 91
Fatal error:
Atom CD is used in an interaction of
type atom in the topology
database, but an atom of that name was
not found in residue
number 50.


I tried different force fields, for example OPLS-AA/L all-atom force field, 
different versions of AMBERs, but I
always get the same problem! When I tried GROMOS's versions, the problem goes 
on CZ atom instead of CD. Here is a chunk of my pdb file (I have also attached 
the full pdb file to this e-mail):

I know that the residue number printed
by pdb2gmx is actually starting from zero, so the problem is actually in GLU.
In both rtp file and pdb I have CD atom. Some suggestions wanted to
change the order of C and O in pdb file, but it didn't work. What should I do?

Your statements are inconsistent. You say above that changing the force field triggers a problem with a different atom (CZ instead of CD), which doesn't make much sense. The amino acids have standard atom nomenclature, so changing the force field should not change the error. Beyond that, the real reason is that you're missing an atom somewhere and the PDB header should have clearing "MISSING" lines that tell you exactly what that is. If you need further help diagnosing, providing the actual PDB code would be helpful.
