Dear all,

I want to simulate a complex consisting of a protein, FMN, and NADH. I have two problems/questions:

1) In the "CHARMM36 all-atom force field (March 2017)" parameters for NADH are present. But apparently I am using a wrong atom naming convention (I copied / pasted NADH from a pdb entry):

Fatal error:
Atom PN in residue NADH 0 was not found in rtp entry NADH with 71 atoms
while sorting atoms.

How can I generate a appropriate input file for gromacs gmx2pdb?


Make the PDB file atom names match those of the .rtp entry. It's a bit awkward but everyone seems to have a different convention for naming cofactor atoms.

2) I did not find FMN in the charmm36 force field. Can some recommend me a program to generate a parameter file? And how to proceed with it?


If it's not in CHARMM, use CGenFF. There's a web server that will parametrize it (cgenff.paramchem.org) and tell you how good the topology is so you can decide if you need to do any manual parametrization. Download the .str -> .itp conversion script from the MacKerell lab webpage and you're ready for GROMACS.
