Hi Justin,
Thanks for the new suggestion.
However, wouldn't this again involve the sorting of my .pdb file?
I have modified the specbond.dat
3
MSI SI 4 MO O 2 0.16 MCM MCM
MSI SI 4 MOH OH 2 0.16 MCM MCM
MOH OH 2 MH H 1 0.101 MCM MCM
BUT the specbond.dat is called after the duplicate atoms are deleted:
Now there are 4 atoms. Deleted 4280 duplicates.
Opening library file
/home/jwillia4/gromacs-4.0.5/code/share/gromacs/top/specbond.dat
3 out of 3 lines of specbond.dat converted succesfully
So at present my pdb file is shortened down to 4 atoms before specdat
even gets a chance to work on it.
The only solution I can see to this is to rename each and every atom
in my .pdb file with a different residue number and name. This then
means that I would need a huge specbond.dat where the bonds were
defined for each of these residues-this would essentially mean
defining thousands of bonds as I wouldn't be able to define the bonds
by atom type but by their individual reside number. Is this correct or
am I missing something?
What I really would like is to stop the program deleting these
duplicate atoms-then I could use pdb2gmx to generate the entire
topology file. Do you know a way of doing this (and here I am really
hoping that I don't have to mess with the source code :) )?
Thanks -I am learning a lot from your advice

I can see how this rapidly becomes difficult :) I don't believe
that pdb2gmx can handle such "multi-directional" bonding, since the
residues that are connected are not necessarily numerically
sequential.
I should amend this statement (typing quicker than the brain can keep
up!) - It is not that pdb2gmx cannot handle multi-directional bonding,
it is moreso that I don't think it cannot be done using the +/-
convention of the .rtp files.
Using specbond.dat, as I suggested before, should be a viable alternative.
