This is a completely separate issue where the CHARMM force field files from which the GROMACS CHARMM27 rtp entries were created do not have a DPPC entry, rather DPPC in CHARMM is created from using two residues (PALM and PCGL) and two patches (EST1 and EST2). It should have been easy enough to make a CHARMM27 DPPC rtp entry anyway.

This may not be related but it was not straight forward to do DPPC membrane simulation using CHARMM FF in gromacs. The DPPC molecule was not defined at all in the FF files.

The DPPC is defined in terms of two more residues in CHARMM.

        Dear all,

        I am setting up a system with GROMACS 4.5.3 and the CHARMM force
        field. In the protein, I have a neutral lysine, for which CHARMM
        force
        filed has a specific residue type (LSN). When I wrote LSN as residue
        name in the initial pdb file, the topology file was perfectly
        created
        by pdb2gmx. However, in the next step, grompp complained about the
        CMAP torsion between the two previous residues:

        Fatal error:
        Unknown cmap torsion between atoms 2747 2749 2751 2754 2757

        However, if the LYS residue was written in the initial pdb file and
        the -lys option included with pdb2gmx (chosen the neutral
        protonation
        state for this lysine), grompp did not complain.

        The problem is that there is a deprotonated tyrosine (bound to a
        metal) in my system. I created a new residue type, but again the
        grompp complained about the CMAP between the two previous residues.
        Unfortunately, in this case I can't fit the problem with any of the
        pdb2gms options.
        I think the problem arises when a non-standard residue is
        included in
        the initial pdb file. Does someone else find this problem? I would
        appreciate any advise about how to solve it.


    I can't promise a solution, but you could try adding LSN and
    whatever other non-standard residues you need to use in
    residuetypes.dat.  I noticed that LSN is not there, which seems like
    an omission, since the other CHARMM-specific residue names are
    there.  When LYS is present, probably pdb2gmx is correctly
    interpreting the residue as protein before converting its name.  In
    the case of LSN or any other non-standard residue, this may not be
    the case.  Check the output of pdb2gmx carefully for any messages
    that might indicate that a residue of type "Other" was detected.
     I've had this cause other problems.

    If adding LSN to residuetypes.dat fixes the problem, I will file a
    bugzilla.

        Thanks in advance
