Dear GMX'ers,
Is there any reliable way of making an itp file for an arbitrary structure? AFAIK there are two ways: 1) The Dundee PRODRG server. This is really a nice tool, but it always gives the same protonation states. COOH always becomes COO- and NH2 becomes NH3+.

You can control the protonation state.  See the PRODRG FAQ.

2) x2top. This utility hangs with my rather simple structure. The structure is attached below. This is a file created by SwissPDB. It contains hydrogens and connections. Nevertheless x2top ignores this information and hanges (at least gives no result in 40 min).

It depends on the version of x2top you're using, but if you use the -nopbc option with version 4.0.5, it doesn't hang.

Otherwise, there are a number of topology-generating tools on the User Contributions section of the Gromacs site.

So, the question is how to make an itp file with predefined protonation (e.g. COOH and NH2 groups).

Here is a pdb file
COMPND ?

I have also tried the same file without numbers in atom names and without connections. Any help will be hightly appreciated. Sincerely yours,
