        <br>
        &nbsp; Thanks for the reply. <br>
        One thing, while giving the '-ff' flag it is asking for some
        string. So I renamed all my force field files as except spc.itp
        and ions.itp. Renamed files are .....<br>
        <br>
        1) ffprot.atp<br>
        2) ffprot.rtp<br>
        3) ffprot.itp [ includes ffnonbonded.itp and ffbonded.itp ]<br>
        <br style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">
        <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">pdb2gmx -f test.pdb -o test.gro
          -p toplo.top -ff prot <br>
          <br>
        </span>so it'll read all of these files starting with 'ff'<br>
        Then how can I deal with spc.itp and ions.itp files ?? Should I
        include the scp.itp and ions.itp files inside the ffprot,itp ??</font><br>

    You started with files from some force field. Copy the whole folder,
    like it says in the above link. Then modify the files there...<br>
