        Dear justin


        after finishing your tutorial, I tried to embed 1r2h protein into lipid
bilayer. when I tried to use pdb2gmx� via "gmx pdb2gmx -f
2rh1.pdb -o 2rh1_processed.gro -ignh -ter -water spc", it says :


        

        �


        Select start terminus type for ASP-29

        �0: NH3+

        �1: NH2

        �2: None

        2

        Start terminus ASP-29: None

        Select end terminus type for LEU-342

        �0: COO-

        �1: COOH

        �2: None

        2

        End terminus LEU-342: None

        -------------------------------------------------------

        Program gmx, VERSION 5.0.5

        Source code file:
/home/ali/gromacs-5.0.5/src/gromacs/gmxpreprocess/pdb2top.cpp, line:
1091

        

        Fatal error:

        There is a dangling bond at at least one of the terminal ends. Fix your
coordinate file, add a new terminal database entry (.tdb), or select the
proper existing terminal entry.


        ------------------------------------------------------


        I found a similar question in which you� replied it as below :


        You haven&#39;t added caps onto the input protein, you should expect to
get this error. In the tutorial, I build ACE and NH2 groups onto the
peptide to neutralize the termini. Since you haven&#39;t done this type
of modification, pdb2gmx will die because you have incomplete amides at
the ends of the chain. The "None" terminus instructs pdb2gmx to
not build additional H (in the case of NH2 or NH3+ termini) or O(H) (for
COO- and COOH). It doesn&#39;t make any chemical sense to use
"None" for non-capped protein chains.


        I don&#39;t grasp what specifically you� meant to say. Could you
please help me ? How should I naturalized the termini ? I really need
it.


        sincerely
