Hi Just for correct understanding: In this "empty" [ dihedrals ] bock are 11 lines without equilibrium angle and force constant, that looks like:
[ dihedrals ] ; ai aj ak al funct c0 c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 2 1 19 8 2 6 8 9 10 2 Did this mean, that this are really physical dihedrals, that were given by pdb2gmx and the only reason that they are "empty" is, that they are not parametrized? Is this correct? Greetings Lara ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Justin A.

If pdb2gmx finds 4 atoms connected via bonds, it assigns a dihedral to it. That's just physically real. If your force field then doesn't have parameters for that particular interaction, you get the error shown above. That doesn't mean you should go deleting things until grompp "works" because what will result will likely be senseless. If your "empty" (which is not really empty, as we've been saying) dihedrals are causing the problems, then you need to add parameters for them in ffbonded.itp or in the topology itself, not hack the topology apart. -Justin -- ======================================== Justin A.
