I thought that this was needed to convert the hydrogens to virtual

I don't believe constraining angles is necessary. The manual only refers to
fixed bond lengths.
Perhaps we are talking about different things, but looking at the 2nd
paragraph of section 6.5 (page 127):
"For the remaining degrees of freedom, the shortest oscillation period
as measured from a simu-
lation is 13 fs for bond-angle vibrations involving hydrogen atoms."
And then later on in section 6.5.1:
"The goal of defining hydrogen atoms as virtual sites is to remove all
high-frequency degrees of
freedom from them."
The quotes above define the problem, but I see no reference to using h-angles as
your constraints.
As far as I understand the procedure, the hydrogens can only be
converted to virtual sites if the angles are constrained, because only
then is their position uniquely given by the positions of heavy atoms.
See the following:

If you're looking for an example to follow, I would
suggest running the lysozyme benchmark described in the GROMACS 4 paper; the
parameters used are nicely detailed.
Thanks for the suggestion, will have a look at that.

I got reasonable results using
"constraints = all-bonds," but if that is not correct, perhaps someone else
can comment.

Dear GROMACS users,
I would like to substitute hydrogens in a protein with virtual sites
to allow for the 4-5 fs timestep mentioned in the GROMACS 4 paper and
several other places. So far, I have not found an example or a
tutorial that would involve this, so I want to create a
straightforward example. I have taken the 2KO3 structure from the PDB
and went through this sequence of commands:
pdb2gmx -v -f 2KO3.pdb -o initial-vacuum.gro -ff oplsaa -water tip4p
-vsite hydrogens -ignh
editconf -f initial-vacuum.gro -o initial-box.gro -c -d 1 -bt cubic
genbox -cp initial-box.gro -cs tip4p.gro -p topol.top -o conf.gro
grompp
I also provided a pretty standard grompp.mdp, that contains
"constraints = h-angles". I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: vsite_parm.c, line: 779
Fatal error:
Automatic parameter generation not supported for Virtual site 3 atom 4
for this bonding configuration
-------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure what the problem is. I would appreciate and help on the
use of this feature, pointers to resources, or a working example.
Reading the manual and searching did not help as much as I would like.
Have you tried specifying either "all-bonds" or "h-bonds" for
constraints?
I think "all-bonds" is the most commonly-used option. Any specific
reason
for using "h-angles"?

Thanks,
Ondrej
