Probably true.

Not quite true. The contents of the .itp files don't matter to pdb2gmx since it writes a .top file that #includes them. So you need to have a working POPC entry in an .rtp file for pdb2gmx, and later on, when using grompp, you'll need the former contents of the .rtp file to correspond to stuff the .itp files. The latter you need even without using pdb2gmx, of course.

Good point. I was only considering the case where you want pdb2gmx to provide you with a complete .top file that needs no additions and takes all its parameters from the same place (as you would get for a protein for example).

Anyway, if you have the .itp files then I think it is easier to simply add the required #include lines to the protein.top file so that it covers all the molecule types in your coordinate file without trying to get pdb2gmx to recognize the lipids.

Cheers,

Bruce
