Yes I noticed the area per protein was displaying 0 from the output on the

Having repeated the tutorial with my protein, i consistently get two
messages that could be responsible. If i try to select start terminus as
none (2) as per the tutorial I receive a message saying:

The tutorial chooses no terminal patching because I already built on capping groups (acetyl and amide) to both termini. If this is not the case in your system, it's not an appropriate choice.

That's chemically impossible but at least it's a syntactically correct choice.

Don't ignore these - they mean you probably have missing residues in the structure.

I'm not sure any of the above is in any way related to the InflateGRO failure (and really, without the coordinate file itself, there's not much to go on) but you have plenty to consider about how reasonable your starting system is.

WARNING: WARNING: Residue 1 named MET of a molecule in the input file was
mapped
to an entry in the topology database, but the atom H used in
an interaction of type angle in that entry is not found in the
input file. Perhaps your atom and/or residue naming needs to be
fixed.

I've looked through the pdb input files and the .gro output files and can't
find and erroneous hydrogen atoms, I've also been sure to change all HW
atom types to H.

I'm unsure if this is where my problem lies...

Thanks,

Dear all,

I am currently trying to insert the MscL protein into the DMPC bilayer. I
followed Justin Lemkul's tutorial 2 (with the exception of using dmpc

I've also tried the same process with popc and dppc and get the same error
