I'm new to gmx so I'm just seeing if I'm able to make homoblock

used PRODRG to generate the pdb file, however trying to convert the file
with pdb2gmx I receive the error:

Fatal error:

I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong since I pretty much mimicked
the speptide.pdb in the tutor file.

Thanks for the help,
Joe.

I guess your pdb file has been damaged by a text editor (Word?). PDB files are fixed format, you can not add or remove spaces at will. You could try clicking together a peptide in Pymol or so, or drop the prodrg output in Notepad (if you're on Windows). On mac or linux it should be straightforward with text editors.
