Hi,
I'm want to run a MD simulation with a Phe-Phe-Phe-Phe-Gly cyclic peptide.
But I'm have problems generating the topology files. When I try to use the
strategy to generate a topology file for the linear FFFFGF
using
pdb2gmx -ff charmm27 -f pep.pdb -o pep.gro -ter -water spce
and choosing None for both termini
I will get the following error
-------------------------------------------------------
Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.6.3
Source code file: /home/johnny/gromacs-4.6.3/src/kernel/pdb2top.c, line:
110
Fatal error:
There is a dangling bond at at least one of the terminal ends. Fix your
coorate file, add a new >terminal database entry (.tdb), or select the
proper exing terminal entry.
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
-------------------------------------------------------
Has anybody an idea how i can overcome this problem or some kind of tutorial
to generate the topologies files for a cyclic peptide ?
pdb2gmx is not designed to produce topologies for cyclic peptides. Check the
archive for numerous threads on this topic. Perhaps a specbond.dat entry will
help, otherwise the sure-fire solution is to manually add the required bonded
terms (bond, angles, and dihedrals) to the topology after pdb2gmx does its work.
The above error can likely be overcome by using -missing (which is OK in this
instance, but not in many other cases).
