[gmx-users] Coarse-Grain: GROMACS bond information to VMD

[Justin A. Lemkul]

I have also added a Perl script to the GROMACS site (the VMD page):

http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Programming_Guide/VMD

The user provides an input topology file, and a .psf file is written, which can 
be loaded as data for the structure in VMD.  The !NBOND section seems to be the 
most important in this regard, so the other sections are a bit rough, but it 
seems to work alright.

The caveat is the topology must be one generated by MARTINI, in order to satisfy 
all the pattern matching and the order of the topology.  It should be fairly 
easy to modify the program further to accommodate other layouts, but I haven't 
had the need to do so.
