Dear Gmx Users,

I used charmm server to get the parameters for my new molecule -
alkane. i converted it into the gromacs topology.
When I try grompp:

WARNING 1 [file ffbonded.itp, line 7948]:
   Overriding Proper Dih. parameters.
   Use dihedraltype 4 to allow several multiplicity terms.

My ffnonbonded.itp corresponding lines:

[ dihedraltypes ]
; i     j       k       l       func    phi0    cp      mult
CG331      CG321      CG321      CG331      9          0.00
0.1598288  2
CG331      CG321      CG321      CG331      9          180.00     0.1330512  6

Can you please explain me this? Shall use 4 instead of 2 or 6 at the
end of these lines?

No, the last entries are the multiplicity, not the function type (which is the fifth entry, under "func"). Unfortunately, I cannot answer why grompp is prompting you to use type 4, which according to the manual is for periodic improper dihedrals, not proper dihedrals. Maybe you've added those lines in the wrong directive, i.e. with impropers rather than propers?
