Hi,
Thank you for the information. Is it easier just to use SwissParam as mentioned and straight obtain itp file for my drug?

I'd say so. Otherwise you have to go through the trouble of converting it all into the proper format and units. Writing an .rtp entry is just as much work as writing an .itp file (more or less), and pdb2gmx really isn't meant for standalone molecules, because then you'll have to do a bit more (trivial) cleanup to make the resulting .top an .itp file.

If you have the means to produce a reasonable .itp file directly, do so.

    Hi,
The .str file contains the information of atomtype, bonds
    and improper dihedrals, so it is eneough to write a .rtp file. Then
    using pdb2gmx to generate the itp file.
    And you also need to add the missing parameters from CgenFF into the
    itp parameter files based on chapter 5, as Justin suggested.

    Dear Gromacs Users,
I have generated topology file for CHARMM ff using online server for
    my small molecule (I obtained .str file). How can I convert it into
    the Gromacs topology file (.itp)?
Thanks, Steve
