Hi,

I am trying construct  homopolymer from non-standard  monomers .

I have pdb, itp and gro files for monomer and constructed pdb file for polymer. I can put them in corresponding top/forcefield.ff directory.

But how I can get itp and gro files for polymer (for example, for 3-mer in 
simplest case)?

How Gromacs knows which atoms are "head" and "tail" atoms for connection of monomers into polymer (like in "Material Studio")?


The best approach is to build .rtp entries and have pdb2gmx build your topology for you. That way, you can build polymers of any size you like. See the instructions and linked example at:
