Dear Gromacs Users, thanks for all your suggestions.
Tsjerk, I did try your idea, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work. the pdb file is shared here : http://www.4shared.com/account/file/ijofD83b/DIMER.html newpdb2gmx -f DIMER.pdb -chainsep interactive -ignh Fatal error: Atom OXT in residue CYS 283 was not found in rtp entry CYS with 11 atoms while sorting atoms. .

Keeping (one of the) OXT atoms and renaming it to "O" (keeping the > fixed-column format correct) might be needed. There should be only one OXT per chain. Removing those seems like a good idea: sed -i '/^ATOM.*OXT/d' file.pdb (Remove all lines starting with ATOM and containing OXT, in the file) Hope it helps, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.
