HI
I am using Cytochrome-C  pdb 1hrc.pdb. In pdb2gmx it does not gives
any eror using ffG43a1. .top file produced shows all bonds (Fe & SD of
MET 80 and Fe & NE2 of HIS 18) using spec.dat file but all the error
lines does not have bond/angle nomenclature such as
  809   810     2    gb_30
  810   811     2    gb_29
  810  1068     2
  812   813     2    gb_4
  812   814     2    gb_9
  814   815     2    gb_2
810 atom SD of MET80 and 1068 is Fe of Heme. I tried modifying .rtp
file of force-field and adding these bonds and giving some name to it
but got the same error in grompp.

Modifying an .rtp entry will do nothing since this bond exists between two (presumably) non-sequential residues.

Though .top file shows these bonds the .gro file generated does not
show these bonds in VMD while original pdb file shows these bonds.
thanking you.

VMD's concept of bonds is irrelevant, it's simply guessing where they should be based on interatomic distances.

Unfortunately, GROMACS does not work "out of the box" with heme-containing species, but these types of simulations are in no way novel, so obviously parameters for these missing terms should be available somewhere. Consult the literature, and if necessary, contact the authors of relevant papers - they should be able to reproduce their work, at least, we hope :)

waiting for your suggestion.

Hi Justin
These errors are from bond between MET/HIS residue and Heme group of
my protein. I checked for all these nine errors of bond and angle in
th file ffG43a1bon.itp and I couldnt find these defined  in this file.
 Using other options of force field also gives error at some point.
waiting for your suggestion to proceed further.
One of the most important choices when conducting MD simulations is the
force
field.  You'll have to find one that works.  It appears that (unfortunately)
the
Gromos force fields do not work out of the box when heme is involved.

If you want specific advice about other force fields, you'll have to
describe
your problem much better than "gives error at some point."  No one can help
you
sort that out.  You'd do well to look into the literature.  Simulations of
heme
proteins are not novel, so clearly others have made this work, and in some
cases, parameters might be provided for the terms that are missing.

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.7

Fatal error:

-------------------------------------------------------
  pdb2gmx works properly using ff43a1 forcefield. My protein contains
Heme. I was having N-terminal ACE group which I simply deleted from
the pdb.
Am I right in deleting this group. How should I proceed to get rid of
this error.

That seems like a particularly poor solution.  Simply getting rid of an
inconvenient group does not sound appropriate.  Ask yourself whether or
not
there is some functionally significant reason to having the ACE group
there
(chain truncation? artificial modification?) and decide.

As for the errors, look into the topology to see which atoms are causing
the
problems.  Then decide if there are indeed appropriate parameters in the
force
field for this task.

Thanks in anticipation of help.
