Hello,

I am new to gromacs. I am applying the pdb2gmx tool to a peptide that has an N-term pyroglutamate and a C-term amidation. The OPLS forcefield has an entry for PGLU.

I used the -ter flag of pdb2gmx to define protonation states of the termini. While this works fine for the C-term (choosing 3:None) I run into trouble with the PGLU at the N-term.

In my input pdb the nitrogen of PGLU is attached to CA, CD and one proton.

However when prompted 'Select start terminus type for PGLU-1' there is no NH option. If I select 'None' I get "Fatal error: There is a dangling bond at at least one of the terminal ends." If I chose NH2 I end up with too many protons at my N-terminus.

If I leave out the -ter flag altogether I get problems with my C- terminus: "Fatal error: atom C not found in building block 23NH2 while combining tdb and rtp".

How would I solve this?

Regards,

Henry
