Hi,

I have a small ligand that apparently PRODRG gets wrong -it completely
alters the structure, borks angles etc. making it not what we want. So I
used xplo2d to obtain a suitable set of files that I used for docking (with
HADDOCK).


Interesting. The hallmark of the PRODRG development process was that bonded geometries were very well maintained. I have never seen such a problem; the issues were always with the charges.

Now, it seems to me that xplo2d does not output a Gromos ff -compatible
.itp file as PRODRG does. However it produces a CNS .top file, which seems
to contain most of the same information ( charges, dihedrals, masses etc.)

Is there a way to convert between the two?


Yes, but it will involve using multiple files. The CNS topology should be reasonably straightforward to parse with, e.g. Perl, but you will have to cross-reference bonded parameters from ffbonded.itp by atom type and somehow assign charge groups (although that can be done manually after the fact, if needed).
