Hello everyone,
I had written earlier today about my concern involving grompp. I am trying to minimize the energy of a pure water system using grompp: grompp -f waters.mdp -c waters_b.gro -p water.top -o watersinput.tpr
and part of the output on the terminal is as follows:

      Analysing residue names:
Opening library file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/aminoacids.dat
      There are:  2000      OTHER residues
      There are:     0    PROTEIN residues
      There are:     0        DNA residues

      NOTE 1 [file aminoacids.dat, line 1]:
      The optimal PME mesh load for parallel simulations is below 0.5
      and for highly parallel simulations between 0.25 and 0.33,
      for higher performance, increase the cut-off and the PME grid spacing

The problem is I am not specifying any aminoacid file and I am not doing a parallel run, but the aminoacid.dat file is being opened and the program assumes that I am doing a parallel run. Is this the way it should be, and will this affect my run results? Please help me out and be patient with me as I am still learning gromacs.

The aminoacids.dat is a generic input file that tells grompp what is protein and what is not. In your case, it simply doesn't matter.

The note about PME is also standard output, since parallel runs are quite common, this is useful information. There is no way for grompp to know if you are going to be running in parallel, but it's simply providing you useful information.

Basically, all the output is entirely normal. As long as grompp isn't spitting out warnings/errors, you should be fine to continue.

Thanks,
Lum
