Hi Justin, Thanks a lot for your message. I am petrified why pdb2gmx is not recognizing the residue ETY. This the first residue added to ffoplsaa.rtp but as you may see below it is not read from rtp.
I am sure this residue is added to ffoplsaa.rtp which is existing in the working directory: [ ETY ] [ atoms ] C1 opls_143 -0.120 1 H11 opls_144 0.060 1 H12 opls_144 0.060 1 C2 opls_143 -0.120 2 H21 opls_144 0.060 2 H22 opls_144 0.060 2 [ bonds ] C1 H11 C1 H12 C1 C2 C2 H21 C2 H22 ;C2 C1 Then I issue: pdb2gmx -f Ethylene.gro -o GRO.gro -p Ethylene.top -ff oplsaa :-) G R O M A C S (-: GROwing Monsters And Cloning Shrimps :-) VERSION 4.5.4 (-: Using the Oplsaa force field in directory oplsaa.ff Opening force field file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/oplsaa.ff/watermodels.dat Select the Water Model: 1: TIP4P TIP 4-point, recommended 2: TIP3P TIP 3-point 3: TIP5P TIP 5-point 4: SPC simple point charge 5: SPC/E extended simple point charge 6: None 6 Opening force field file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/oplsaa.ff/aminoacids.r2b Reading Ethylene.gro...

I would really appreciate if you could comment on this. Is there a bug in pdb2gmx version 4.5.4 (which I doubt)? Do i have to edit esiduetypes.dat?
