Coordinate files like pdb and gro aren't used by GROMACS to provide any bonding information. That is what the topology files are for. So their "presence" in your pdb isn't an issue.
Actually, what is probably happening is that PyMol is guessing the bonds presence, based on the distance between atoms, and displaying it (which is what VMD does as well). So the bonds aren't actually there at all in the pdb file.

From: gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org [mailto:gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org] On Behalf Of Gunnar Widtfeldt Reginsson Sent: Thursday, 12 November 2009 10:13 AM To: gmx-users@gromacs.org Subject: [gmx-users] Docking with PyMol and using Gromacs Hi. I am a new user of Gromacs. My question is both PyMol and Gromacs related. I tried the PyMol users mailing list but couldn't find anything. I have a small organic molecule that I am inserting into DNA in pymol. I have the DNA as one pdb file and the organic molecule as another pdb file. I open the DNA file in pymol and then load the organic molecule. After docking the organic molecule I write "save name.pdb" When viewing the name.pdb file in pymol there are some bonds between the organic molecule and the DNA that I don't want. Somehow pymol creates them and I don't see those bonds in the name.pdb file when I open it in a text reader. I then create a .gro file with pdb2gmx of the DNA.pdb and a .gro file of the organic molecule with topolbuilder 1.2 , and unite those .gro files and convert into a .pdb with editconf The newly created pdb file still has those unwanted bonds. My question is: Can I ignore those bonds? If not, how can I prevent pymol making those bonds? Thanks.
