Hello everyone!

I have a naive question and I have been trying to find a solution myself, but I just don't understand what is wrong.

When I run pdb2gmx with "-ter" on my molecule I get the following error message when I ask for a COOH to be made at the C terminus (I get no error when I ask for COO- ):

Atom O2 not found in residue 22 while adding improper.

However, My PDB file ends with:
ATOM 282 C LEU B 44 -5.138 -16.681 4.219 1.00 0.00 B1 C ATOM 283 O1 LEU B 44 -4.407 -17.877 3.685 1.00 0.00 B1 O ATOM 284 O2 LEU B 44 -6.471 -16.388 3.597 1.00 0.00 B1 O
TER     286      LEU B  44

Therefore, the O2 atom is clearly there.


The error message comes from residue 22, not 44. I'm guessing there is another chain, for which residue 22 is the C-terminus? Likely this one is missing O2.

I considered the idea that the error was because there is no Hydrogen at the end of the PDB file to make the H in COOH. So I used ZZ vega to add a hydrogen to O2. When this did not work I tried adding one to O1, but I kept getting the following error:
"Atom H1 in residue 22 not found in rtp entry with 19 atoms..."


The force field expects that all of the atoms in the residue have specific names. Adding a hydrogen should be done automatically, from the .hdb and/or .tdb file(s).

Thank you in advance,
