Justin,

i went for the option 4 that u pointed out. let me explain what i did,

i converted the .pdb file in to .gro by using.

editconf -f test.pdb -o test.gro -box 18 18 18 -angles 90 90 90

then i use the text editor as follows.


Include forcefield parameters
#include "oplsaa.ff/forcefield.itp"
#include "oplsaa.ff/ions.itp"
[ moleculetype ]
; name  nrexcl
   UNK     3

then i did

  grompp -f npt.mdp -c test.gro -p test.top -o run.tpr

and i got following error...

Program grompp, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file: grompp.c, line: 479

Fatal error:
No molecules were defined in the system

could you please help me out here? am i doing it correct?


No. If that's actually the entirety of the topology, it basically contains nothing. You're missing 99.9% of the required information.

Thank you!

could you please give me a hint about a suitable method for this task?


You can make just about anything work.

1. pdb2gmx with .rtp entries for each of your molecules, with
appropriately named (unique) atoms
2. g_x2top can also process each different molecule type, yielding
topologies for each of them individually.  Conversion from .top to .itp is
trivial.
3. Software of your own creation
4. Chapter 5 of the manual and your favorite text editor (laborious, but
works well if you know what you are doing)

-Justin


  thank you!

     Is g_x2top  the only way for my situation? or am i in the wrong
track?


  There are numerous ways to generate topologies.  I have warned you that
g_x2top is probably ill-suited for this task.  It works well for simple
things.  It does not work well for complex systems.


   if i find the parameters for the missing parameters how can i get rid
of

sodium as u mentioned
for the real system with Na+ ions?


  I answered this question in my previous message.

   Thank you!

   Justin,


As i understood from reading and tutorial what i should do is, lets
say
i
generated a topology file named as
topol.top, so i need to add #include "oplsaa.ff/ions.itp" so it
accounts
for Na+.

my question is..

1.how can i get rid of sodium? just removing the corresponding lines
from
the .pdb text?


  Yes, for the coordinate file processed by g_x2top.  Once the
topology for
everything else is established and you have #included the topology for
sodium (as I explained before), you can use the original coordinate
file.


    2. i tried with uncharged system for simplicity with less number of

  atoms..(
here i replaced the COONa functional group with a CH3 group)

but still g_x2top -f test.pdb -o np1.top -name np1 -ff oplsaa -pbc

am getting this parameters missing..

Can not find forcefield for atom C-147 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-148 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-873 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-874 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-939 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-940 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-1137 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-1138 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-1269 with 1 bonds
Can not find forcefield for atom C-1270 with 1 bonds

for that do i need to modify the atomname2type.n2t  the way i did
earlier?or am i doing this wrong?


   g_x2top is not very smart.  You have to give it all the information

needed
for it to work.  Whenever you get this error, the solution is always
the
same - those atoms are not accounted for by whatever is in the .n2t
file,
so you need to add information to cover those atoms.
