Thanks for you reply. As I explained befor, I need to add a formyl residue to the gmx.ff . I defined it in aminoacid.rtp file and aminoacid.n.tdb .
In .rtp file: [ atoms ] C CH1 0.380 0 O O -0.380 0 [ bonds ] C O C +N [angles ] ai aj ak O C +N [ dihedrals ] O C +N +CA In .n.hdb file: [ replace ] C CH1 0.380 0 O O -0.380 0 [ bonds ] C O C +N The first residue after formyl is VAL. I know when VAL is added to FOR, a peptide bond is formed and 1 H-atom is added to the N-atom in this bonding, this H-atom is already defined in .hdb file. In my case, an error ( missing H on VAL residue) is occured, thus I decieded to add the H by hand in pdb file. Any suggestion please? Thanks so much.

If you aren't achieving the desired behavior, you will have to be a lot more specific about what you're doing and what you're observing. -Justin -- ======================================== Justin A.
