Hi

I am trying to set up a simulation for dialanine using charmm27 ff but am getting errors in pdb2gmx due to missing definitions in rtp file.

I created the pdb file (below) using Charmm for the sequence ACE-ALA-ALA-CT3.

pdb2gmx recognizes ALA atoms but not those of the terminal groups ACE and CT3.

Yes, CHARMM in GROMACS has lacked these for some time. I asked over a year ago for them to be added, but that hasn't happened. You can add

[ ACE ]
 [ atoms ]
        CT3     CT3     -0.270  0
        HT1     HA      0.090   1
        HT2     HA      0.090   2
        HT3     HA      0.090   3
        C       C       0.510   4
        O       O       -0.510  5
 [ bonds ]
        C       CT3
        C       +N
        CT3     HT31
        CT3     HT32
        CT3     HT33
        O       C

        C       CT3     +N      O

[ CT3 ]
; this can also be done with the .c.tdb, but the atom naming is different

to the end of aminoacids.rtp in a local copy of the charmm27.ff folder to make this work.


Does someone have the appropriate definitions for these residues ?
( I have tried http://swissparam.ch/ to generate an itp file for the molecule, but upon using it in GMX it does not give the same energy as that from charmm. )

That will likely be a separate issue.
