[gmx-users] importing RNA

[Ken Rotondi]

I tried using pdb2gmx to import a pdb file with both protein and RNA in 
it. It failed with the error " Residue 'U' not found in residue 
topology database". I looked in the ffG43a2.rtp file and found that the 
gromacs names were ADE, GUA, CYT, and URA while my .pdb file had the 
names A, G, C, and U. I changed the ribonucleic acid names in the .itp 
file to reflect the names in the .pdb file and re-ran pdb2gmx, only to 
get the same error.
This seems like it should be simple, what am I missing?

Thanks,

Ken
