Version 3.1.1 is very old; upgrade to a newer version and try again.

It always shows like this:

My created file is : Gromacs Runs One Microsecond At Cannonball Speeds

Thank you

Hi Justin.

I just followed the pdb file from you but I can still not create the correct 
gro.file. I use this command  editconf -f hao.pdb -o hao.gro  -d 1.0

What is the problem . And I find what you create for the pdb file based on mine 
almost  makes no difference .


I have no idea what the problem is.  What's in the .gro file?

Sometimes tools don't function properly when they haven't been installed
correctly.  What is your operating system?  What version of Gromacs are you
using?  What were the compilers (and versions)?  Did the installation process
report any errors?

-Justin

Thank you for your guidance.

 So you have created the gro.file . I have tried your pdb.file again but it

gro.file created based on the pdb.file?

The .gro I created was:

When running editconf (using the .pdb I pasted below), it correctly detects 8 
atoms.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your reply. I have followed the regular forms about pdb file but 
it still shows that :

Then you haven't followed the format correctly.

I created the following from your original .pdb file:

It successfully creates a .gro file.

-Justin

So I think it is because that the atom types such as Sugar ,Adenine base are 
not recognized  by the gromacs .Also, what I want to solve is that how to 
define these big atoms .

Do you know how to define these big atoms in order to make the gromacs  
recognize them and creat the correct gro.file

Thank you .

not very complex, only 8 atoms .  And I find these atoms are not included in 
the gromacs so i defined them in the .atp file this

 Ab  134.1;   Adenine base of DNA
 Tb  125.1;   Thymine base of DNA
 S   83.11;   Sugar of DNA
 P   94.97;   Phosphate of DNA


The .atp file means nothing for editconf.

 Can anyone of you help me sovle this problem?

It looks like the formatting of your .pdb file is irregular.  A fixed format is
required for proper detection of atoms and coordinates.  See here:
