Dear Justin, Thanks for the tips. Things worked smoothly up to the point when I wanted to run an actual simulation. When I wanted to run grompp for a NVT simulation, I got this error message:
Fatal error: 7 atoms are not part of any of the T-Coupling groups I realized that that in my mdp file, I had: Tcoupl = Nose-Hoover tau_t = 0.2 0.2 0.2 tc-grps = Protein SOL CL- ref_t = 310 310 310 I noticed that this warning is related to the CYA residue. So I added CYA as a new group to the above list and problem was solved. But what remains strange/scary to me is that I defined CYA in residuetypes.dat! Shouldn't grompp consider the new residue as part of the protein? Won't this separate temperature coupling of a residue and protein cause strange behavior? Sorry for inconveniences.

The option -ff should take just the prefix of the force field directory, i.e. "-ff gromos53a5" which causes pdb2gmx to search for a gromos53a5.ff directory. -Justin -- ======================================== Justin A.
