I finally managed to track down the bug with the charge group assignment.<br>I turned out to be in specific code that hardcoded renames H1, H2 and H3<br>to H in the N-terminus only when matching atoms to the topology<br>(the horrendous pdb2gmx again...).<br><br>I fixed it for 4.0.6 and 4.1.<br>But this will have very little effect on simulations, only AMBER with v-sites<br>simulations will crash, due to the combination with the other bug I fixed.<br>And the amber vsite files are not officially released.<br><br>Berk<br><br>> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 15:13:04 +0200<br>> From: jochen@xray.bmc.uu.se<br>> To: gmx-users@gromacs.org<br>> Subject: Re: [gmx-users] vsites, ffamber, charge groups, N-terminus,        and        crashes<br>> <br>> Berk Hess wrote:<br>> > Hi,<br>> ><br>> > I just ran pdb2gmx (4.0.5 and git master) with AMBER on a test di-peptide.<br>> > But for me all H's in the NH3 terminus always end up in different <br>> > charge-groups.<br>> > No matter if I use v-sites or not and if use -ignh or not.<br>> > So I don't understand how you managed to get the H's in the same <br>> > charge group.<br>> Weird, I always get the H's in separate charge groups.
