What's happening is that grompp is reaching the end of your topology (line 998) and identifying what it thinks is a problem. I'm guessing your peptide has 155 atoms? Using Protein Non-protein is fine, and is the best thing to do in this scenario. The warning is really meant to alert individuals who do something like:

tc-grps = Protein SOL NA+ CL-

which is destined for problems.

I'd say everything you've done is fine.

Hello everybody,

I am trying to run a high temperature "rough" dynamic on a polypeptide to randomize its structure. When I pre-process the structure in the solvent I get the " T-Coupling group XXX has fewer than 10% of the atoms" error. This error is also described in the wiki and suggests to couple the groups "Protein" and "non-Protein", which I actually did. The error message that I get is:


processing index file...
WARNING 1 [file "H1.top", line 998]:
 T-Coupling group Protein has fewer than 10% of the atoms (155 out of
 29508)
 Maybe you want to try Protein and Non-Protein instead?
Making dummy/rest group for Acceleration containing 29508 elements
Making dummy/rest group for Freeze containing 29508 elements
Making dummy/rest group for Energy Mon. containing 29353 elements
Making dummy/rest group for VCM containing 29508 elements

Checking consistency between energy and charge groups...
writing run input file...

but as you can see, the groups are assigned. Beside, line 998 in my .top is the line referring to the Cl ions:


993  [ molecules ]
994   ; Compound        #mols
995  Protein_A           1
996  SOL         9782
997  NA+         1
998  CL-         6

but I thought the T-coupling groups were defined in the index file, not the topology. Anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a lot
Serena
