Have you run pdb2gmx to process a simple protein or polypeptide? This is
done for you.  Each amino acid is defined.  If you supply a coordinate file
with a GLY-GLY peptide, pdb2gmx does everything you need.
No Sir,  are thr any tutorials on polypeptide pdb generation and getting
the topology (pdb2gmx process).., which would be highly beneficial....

Thank you...
