Dear All,

I have some polymer having peptide bond and want to use OPLSaa. I was
following Justin's example for building polymers
http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-March/040125.html

I have few queries:

1) do I need to define improper for peptide in .rtp file to keep it planar?


If the parent force field uses these terms, yes.

2) Also can pdb2gmx write improper by itself (in out .top file) depending
upon bond information and atom types defined in rtp file? Then there will
be no need to define impropers in rtp


There's an easy way to find out :) Otherwise, if you know what you want, specify it and be 100% certain.

3) Also can I use + before atom name more than once in one residue
(fragmented polymer)


My gut says yes, but a real example would be helpful. You can certainly use the + indicator on multiple lines and (I think) even within the same line.
