Some time ago I defined a new residue and after running grompp I got an error as there are some interactions assigned multiple times. Then I decided to duplicate the atoms involved in that residue to avoid this error. Next I renamed the atomtypes in atometypes.atp as below: ZC 12.01100 ; carbonyl C, peptide backbone ZCT1 12.01100 ; aliphatic sp3 C for CH ZCT3 12.01100 ; aliphatic sp3 C for CH3 ZO 15.99900 ; carbonyl oxygen ZHC 1.00800 ; N-ter H ZNH1 14.00700 ; peptide nitrogen ZH 1.00800 ; polar H ZHB 1.00800 ; backbone H ZHA 1.00800 ; nonpolar H
Then I wanted to modify the .itp file, got in to the trouble; I couldn't find the C atomtype in nonbonded.itp file. Actually I don't know what to do now! Thanks for your suggestions.

The atoms that are named in the topology must have atom types that are defined in ffnonbonded.itp. Names are convenient labels and are irrelevant except for our own understanding of the content of our files; types define the nature of the interactions the atom experiences. Parameters are assigned in the topology based on atom type. > I just renamed some atomtypes and then added as the new atomtypes to .itp > file, so I want to find a purposed atomtype and use its vdw parameter ( the > same as what existed in .itp file.) > I'm not clear on the intent here. You're creating duplicate atom types? To what end? -Justin -- ======================================== Justin A.
