Dear all,

OK, as I thought, if you #include "SDS.itp" you should NOT specify a separate [moleculetype] directive in your system .top file.

<snip>


As I told sometimes ago, I obtained this file from PRODRG starting from a 
SDS.pdb file that I created using
SDS coordinates found in another .pdb file (I simply copied and pasted the SDS 
coordinates in a new file and
called it SDS.pdb). For my simulations, however, I used the SDS.gro file and 
SDS.itp file generated by PRODRG.
I notice that the section [ moleculetype] is present in SDS.itp, but nothing 
changes if I erase the [
moleculetype ] section for SDS in my_prot.top: in all cases it doesn't work...
I also copied and pasted the entire topology of SDS explicitly into my_prot.top 
instead of typing #include
"SDS.itp", and nothing changed again...


Well, the .itp file itself seems to have been properly generated.

Concerning the order of molecules in the last [ molecules ] section, I changed 
it several times, and nothing
changed...

I'm still with an unclarified question: why genbox did not create by itself all 
corrections necessary to the
original .top file when I used the -ci -nmol options? I added the -p flag but 
it doesn't change the topology
by itself (as it should do, in my opinion).


It would be nice if the computers did everything for us, wouldn't it? :) Maybe one day. It looks like automated updates only work for addition of water. Perhaps this can be a future improvement to genbox.

Have you read the error page for your problem:

http://oldwiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Errors#Number_of_coordinates_in_coordinate_file_does_not_match_topology

There is a specific section on the case where grompp detects 0 coordinates in the .top that might be relevant.

Thank you again
