Hi,I am trying to set up a simulations of short peptides in water, and I want to eliminate the electrostatic interactions of the N-terminal amino group and the C-terminal carboxyl group by capping them, with acetate for the N-terminus and a C-terminal amide.
I built the PDB file using TINKER (see attached file) but when I run: pdb2gmx -f Gly10_Capped.pdb -water tip3p -ignhand I selected the OPLSAA/L force field (option 5) when prompted, and process continues, terminating in a fatal error:

Can someone shed some light on this? Warren Gallin
