Dear all,

I am trying to pdb2gmx a a pdb file gcaa.pdb having nucleic acids using amber force field 03:
pdb2gmx -ff amber03 -f gcaa.pdb -o rna.pdb -p rna.top -water tip3p

I have two questions:
1.
The ffamber03.rtp file specifies that O2 from should be O to be recognized by the rtp file. When one substitutes this atom the program complains:
Fatal error:
Atom O in residue RC 4 was not found in rtp entry RC with 31 atoms
while sorting atoms.

Keeping the original pdb O2 works fine, althought O2 is not in the ffamber03.rtp file. Is this fine?

The atom name (O2) and type (O) are distinct. Names have to match so that pdb2gmx can assign the correct type.


2.
When doing: editconf -f gcaa.pdb -o this.pdb
The residues named H2'1 as mapped in the .rtp file they became 1H2'. The pdb2gmx works fine but I do not know how it works if the new 1H2' is not in the ffamber03.rtp file.


Hydrogen nomenclature can be annoying. Everyone seems to have their own standard. If the topology was produced without issue, then the parameters applied to the structure are fine.
