Hi Justin, I made an insert.gro file for 2 water molecules, and when I used genbox I got a fatal error: more than one residue in insert molecules, program terminated. I wanted to look at insert.gro, it does not show anything. And when I convert it to pdb I got a warning [file aminoacids.dat, line 1]: Bad box file insert.gro When I looked at the insert.pdb file I found only 1.5 water molecule! Which means 1 water plus a OH. Do you have any idea what should I do or if I am missing some thing? Many Thanks in Advance/Jamie
