Hello,

I am trying to a simple energy minimization with my DNA molecule I created with 3DNA program. Below is a snippet of a pdb file where I've only included coordinates for one residue to save space (/Actual file contains coordinates for 12-mer DNA/).

So my question is why is the pdb2gmx spitting out *Fatal Error: Atom P in residue DG 0 not found in rtp entry entry DGN with 32 atoms while sorting atoms?* I am using forcefield94 and looking at the .rtp file and atom P is surely present in the forcefield. Is the pdb format? Something else?


The problem is that you have a 5' phosphate, which the .rtp file does not expect. The error message is saying that it found a P atom in the .pdb file, but that atom is not present in the .rtp entry.

If it the format then does anyone know how to properly put together a pdb file of a nucleic acid and show me what it looks like, and what forcefields are good for DNA ligand interactions?


There have been some discussions in the past about how to properly build termini; check the list archive. The choice of force field is not problematic, but the agreement between the structure and the expectations of that force field is.

thanks in advance
