I am using Gromacs 4.0.5 and in my ffamber03.rtp I can see that the charges are 
as you mentioned.

"H1    amber99_17    0.35200    19"

But in my top file the H1 atom of the type amber99_17 gets replaced by the amber99_25 type
so what should have been

amber99_17 1 DG5 H1 19 0.35200 1.008 ;
is written by pdb2gmx as

amber99_25      1    DG5     H1     19     0.4422      1.008   ;

How can I make amber generate the topology with the right atomtype and charge 
in this case?. Thanks in advance.


I don't know, but it's not productive to troubleshoot buggy behavior in a Gromacs version that is over two years old. I'd suggest upgrading to the newest version (4.5.4, with the appropriate version of the Amber ports) and seeing if the behavior persists. Otherwise, edit the topology manually to correct the error.

Subject: Re: [gmx-users] amber DNA non-integer charge

Kamesh Narasimhan wrote:
Hil,

I am trying to simulate a protein-DNA structure using amber03 and end up having 
a non-integer charge in topology generation .  From the webpage of ffamber on 
NA-simulations, I could see this below instruction

"However, for nucleic acids this also often causes pdb2gmx to replace an H atom in 
the first residue of all nucleic acid chains with an incorrect H atom, resulting in 
non-neutral charge. The correct atom is generally replaced with an atom of type 
amberXX_25 (hydroxyl H), as pdb2gmx treats it as a terminal hydrogen".

I replaced the aminoacids.dat contents with aminoacids-NA.dat contents and 
therefore not sure how the non-integer originates.

In my top file I can see this residue of the type "amber99_25" . How do I 
correct for the atom-type and charge in this case ?

The charge on H1 is wrong.  According to the DG5 .rtp entry (in the version
4.5.x series), the charge should be 0.352.
