Dear Justin Again thanks. Actually the problem arises in the running of pdb2gmx of pdb file of crown ether. I have generated the pdb file from xyz coordinates using openbabel. The pdb file looks like below.

If you can guide here then the problem will be sorted out. warm regards SMA On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 8:33 PM, Justin Lemkul <jalem...@vt.edu> wrote: > > > On 8/17/13 10:58 AM, Musharaf Ali wrote: > >> Thank You Justin >> But you mean to say that even XYZ coordinates like below format >> (18-crown-6) can be directly used in Gromacs. >> >> > I don't know.
