To be clear - [angles] can be specified in an .rtp file (but are not required, because pdb2gmx will by default generate all angles). An [angletypes] directive in ffbonded.itp supplies the parameters for angles.

it with the atomnumbers in the top file generated by pdb2gmx. If you modified
your top file by hand to include interactions which are missing from ffbonded.itp then grompp will complain about missing interactions (at least
that is my experience).


Correct, but it is still not clear to me what the problem is here, if there is one. The .rtp file would be necessary to understand what is expected in the topology, as it is not clear to me why some lines have explicit parameters while others do not.

Hi Justin


I am using a CHARMM27 force field. I create a pdb file with the coordinates of 
my molecule and I create a .rtp and a .hdb file for this. I also edit 
atomtypes.atp, ffnonbonded.itp and residuetypes.dat

The parameters for the parametrization are out of a supporting information of a paper that did MD with my molecule. The System is my molecule (isoalloxazine) in water.
Do you want to see my .rtp file?

Thanks you for helping me.

Greetings
Lara

Hi

In some lines the equilibrium angle and the force constant is missing.I give 
you an example:


The [ angles ] section is build like

[ angles ]
;  ai    aj    ak funct            c0            c1            c2            c3
    2     1    19     1    123.75     250.00
     1     2    3      1    123.75     250.00
     1     2    4      1    117.47     230.00



And my pdb2gmx output is for example something like

[ angles ]
;  ai    aj    ak funct            c0            c1            c2            c3
     2     1    19     1    123.75     250.00
1 2 3 1 1 2 4 1 117.47 230.00


So you have a complete topology and one that has missing parameters, or are you 
adapting an incomplete topology?

What force field are you using?  What is the system?  For a normal protein system, most 
force fields (all except Gromos, if I recall) produce bonded directives with no 
parameters; they are looked up from ffbonded.itp and not stated explicitly, so 
"missing" parameters are completely normal and not problematic.  If you're 
dealing with something nonstandard and you've had to create .rtp entries, you'll need to 
post that information for diagnostic purposes.

In principle, there's nothing wrong with any of this.  The blank lines will be 
filled in with existing parameters from [angletypes] in ffbonded.itp.  These 
parameters are only overwritten if explicitly present in the topology.  If 
there is a bonded interaction referenced in the topology that does not exist in 
ffbonded.itp, grompp will fail with a fatal error.
