Hi, a general question about writing molecule.rtp and how pdb2gmx treats it.

I have a few atom types and a few atoms per each atom type.

So a question - when I define interactions, say [ bonds ] can I define them
by atomtype, rather that atom number?!

*So like this:*
[ B31 ]
   [ atoms ]
; atomname atomtype charge chargegroup
    o1  oc15  -1.00   0
    h1  hoz    0.30  0
    o2  oc18  -0.875   1
    h2  hoy    0.350  1
    o3  oc21  -0.875   1
    h3  hoy    0.350  1
    o4  oc17  -0.875   2
    h4  hoy    0.350  2
    mg1 mg    1.40    3
    al1 ac3    1.35   4
    o5  oc16  -0.875   5
    h5  hoy    0.350  5
    o6  oc20  -0.875   2
    h6  hoy    0.350  2
    o7  oc19  -0.875   5
    h7  hoy    0.350  5
    o8  oc15   -1.00    6
    h8  hoz    0.30  6
    mg2 mg   1.40   7
    mg3 mg   1.40   8
   [ bonds ]
  ; atom1 atom2   parametersindex
    oc15 hoz b_oc-h
    oc16 hoy b_oc-h
    oc17 hoy b_oc-h
    oc18 hoy b_oc-h
    oc19 hoy b_oc-h
    oc20 hoy b_oc-h
    oc21 hoy b_oc-h

   ac3  oc19    a_oc-ac-h

Defining by type is ambiguous. An .rtp requires that atom names be used to define connectivity.


If I use the 1st I get .top that does not list interactions, just [ atoms ]
and #include link to the FF. Is this still OK? Does it read the [ bonds ]
interactions or just non bonded?


No, it's not OK. In that case, you have no bonds at all, so your molecule would go flying apart.
