No default Bond types, U-B types and Proper Dih. types

GROMACS version: 2022.3-Homebrew
GROMACS modification: NO

Hi there,

I am simulating polymer-nucleic acid complex.When trying to grompp with ions.mdp producing lots (1847 ERRORS) of errors related with No default Bond types, No default U-B types and No default Proper Dih. types.

Error file attached.

You likely generated a topology that has new CGenFF parameters that the molecule requires. You haven’t provided them, so you get errors that they are missing. Check the original .str file and then the output of whatever conversion you did between CHARMM and GROMACS.

Also note that your terminal residues are chemically nonsensical because they have a net +0.09e charge. You need to build appropriate terminal residues.

Ok sir , but I have not used CGenFF server rather I had added them using pdb2gmx by preparing the RTP file for this molecule by modifying the CHARMM36 ff files.

Sir ,As you answered earlier about the generation of new CGenFF parameters in the topology file ,so now my question is how to IDENTIFY which parameters are new from this topology file?

Secondly, can you explain why my terminal residues are chemically non-sensical ? I think we can balance this charge during addition of appropriate ions . Could you please give insights on this.

If they are in the .str file produced by the CGenFF server, they are nonstandard parameters that are new to your species (i.e. not in the parent force field, thus you must supply them).
