Dear Mark, Thank you for your reply which solved my problem. I want to add something for all gmx-users. I looked at the force field folders in share/top in which possible usable water models for each force field are listed in watermodels.dat files. If you want to use a different model that is not included in the list, look at the "pdb2gmx" title at the end of the manual.

G43a1 does not define the HW atom type used for TIP3P water, possibly by Berk's design :-). I don't remember whether it's reasonable to want to use TIP3P with the GROMOS forcefields, but presumably SPC water will work with them. Mark
