Hi,

I am trying to use two types of force fields for my system which has protein and fullerene. i want to use OPLS for protein and ffG53a6 for fullerene(as i don't have opls readily available for this). When i use two itp files in #include section grompp does not allow me to do that with the following error. -------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: topio.c, line: 430

Fatal error:
Syntax error - File ffG53a6.itp, line 6
Last line read:
'  1 1 no 1.0 1.0'
Found a second defaults directive.

-------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 5 in manual has information about using topology files but i am not clear about using #define. Can anybody help me how to use opls for protein and gromos for fullerene in the same system?

That will be a meaningless combination. The force fields use completely different combination rules (and hence why you're getting the fatal error about trying to use two different [defaults] sections) and are based on different parameterization strategies. You need a self-consistent model and any attempt to combine force fields in this way will not succeed.
