Hi Justin,
Thanks for your last reply. Now it seems that OPLS has known the atomtypes
after I added those CA1, ... to ffoplsaanb.itp,
but after I claim all the angles, dihedrals, ... in the ffoplsaabon.itp, it
still gives errors like,
Back Off! I just backed up mdout.mdp to ./#mdout.mdp.2#
checking input for internal consistency...
processing topology...

-------------------------------------------------------
Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.7
Source code file: grompp.c, line: 986
Fatal error:
There were 11 errors in input file(s)
-----------------------------------------------
I do double-check those bondtypes, angles, and interactions mentioned in the
errors, and I am pretty sure I have already declared those values in the
ffoplsaabon.itp.
Is there any other file I also need to mention those values?
Thanks,
Yao

The atomtypes.atp file is irrelevant here; it is only used by pdb2gmx. What
you are trying to avoid is what you have to do - if you introduce a new atom
type and intend to use it in any bonded interactions, you must introduce
relevant parameters for all the interactions in which it will participate.

Names and types are different. You can name an atom anything you like, but
atom types must be judiciously assigned.

If you have inserted all of the correct parameters in these files, you would
not receive the error above. Perhaps herein lies the problem - if you have
modified ffnonbonded.itp (which belongs to the force field organization of the
4.5.x series), it will have no effect on a 4.0.7 executable, which is being
called above. So (at least) one of two possibilities is true:
1. You're not using the Gromacs version you intend to.
2. You haven't introduced all of the parameters you need to.
The bond_atomtype values are assigned in ffnonbonded.itp (counterintuitive, I
know, but that's how it works). So for the problematic atom (type opls_137)
the bond_atomtype is CT (second column of ffnonbonded.itp in [atomtypes]).

Again, names are irrelevant but types are critical. There is no tutorial, per
se, but the instructions are on the wiki in a general form:
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Adding_a_Residue_to_a_Force_Field
Most of the instructions are designed around residues for which pdb2gmx will
act. In your case, any new atom types need to be defined in ffnonbonded.itp
and then bonded interactions making use of those types in ffbonded.itp.
