Thanks Justin,


Will this effect the interactions (both bonded and non-bonded) that these atoms have, as their atom types are not in the forcefield itp files?

Missing atom types would cause grompp to fail; you'd never get to the point where a simulation would be affected.

You're introducing custom atom types in the topology itself, and that's always legal before any [moleculetype] appears. The LJ parameters come from the [atomtypes] directive. Masses and charges present in that directive aren't used.


Actually, to clarify: *if* masses are present in the [atoms] directive of a [moleculetype], then the masses found in [atomtypes] are not used. Strictly speaking, it is not necessary to have explicit masses in [atoms], though nearly all topologies do.
