  Dear Gmx Users,

I created my own CG force field and i process my structure to pdb2gmx.
I
process 3 beads I created to check whether the topology is properly

gcq#304: "Gabba Gabba Hey!" (The Ramones)

It stated that there are no angles.
However in my ffbonded.itp which i ncluded in my forcefield.itp

[ angletypes ]

How Gromacs can read this angle?


  [angletypes] simply define possible interactions, but are not used
unless
there are [angles] in the .rtp that use them.  pdb2gmx writes angles
based
on bonds, but if you note above, there are zero bonds, so pdb2gmx cannot
write any angles.  Does your .rtp entry specify [angles] but no [bonds]?



I want to use constraints with SHAKE as bonds...no harmonic bonds. In
this
case pdb2gmx will never create angles? Shall I also manually add [
angles ]
to my top then?


Yes, because in the absence of bonds, even [angles] in .rtp entries are
ignored.


Thinking a bit more though, it's probably a lot easier to define bonds and
let pdb2gmx do the work for you.  Using:

constraints = all-bonds
constraint-algorithm = shake

will turn all bonds in the topology into constraints, which sounds like
exactly what you want to do.

Thank you. But specifying [ bonds ] in my rtp file without force constant?

Entries need to be syntactically correct, but the force constant is completely irrelevant if you are constraining all bonds.

Shall i remove [ bonds ] from my top file then?


What? Without [bonds], you can't do what I'm suggesting. If you don't have [bonds], you have to write [constraints] and [angles] (and any other bonded directories) manually.
