Dear Gromacs users,

Im new to gromacs and I'm following a tutorial (http://nmr.chem.uu.nl/~tsjerk/course/molmod/). Unfortunately, the tutorials doesn't say anything about how to update the topology file after using 'genion' to replace a few water molecules with ions. I manually edited the topology file and updated the number of water molecules and added the number of ions:


Using the -p flag will make all the necessary changes automatically.

[ molecules ]
; Compound        #mols
Protein_chain_A     1
SOL              7791
Na+              26
Cl-              23

But then when I tried to preprocess the structure with grompp, I got an error:

Fatal error:
No such moleculetype Na+


Assuming you're using a new version of Gromacs (4.5.x), the naming scheme has changed. Check the ions.itp for the force field you've chosen to use to set proper names.
