Thanks Justin,

Will this effect the interactions (both bonded and non-bonded) that these atoms 
have, as their atom types are not in the forcefield itp files?


Kind regards,


James

The mass and charge information will be taken from [atoms], which always
over-writes [atomtypes] for those quantities. So there should be no
physical problem, e.g. from a "massless" atom. You can verify the masses
by using gmx dump on your .tpr file and checking that they're non-zero
for those atoms, but grompp would have failed before that point if they
were truly massless.
