NAME

x2top - generates a primitive topology from coordinates

VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

x2top -f conf.gro -o out.top -r out.rtp -[no]h -nice int -ff string -[no]v -nexcl int -[no]H14 -[no]alldih -[no]remdih -[no]pairs -name string -[no]pbc -[no]pdbq -[no]param -[no]round -kb real -kt real -kp real

DESCRIPTION

x2top generates a primitive topology from a coordinate file. The program assumes all hydrogens are present when defining the hybridization from the atom name and the number of bonds. The program can also make an rtp entry, which you can then add to the rtp database.

When -param is set, equilibrium distances and angles and force constants will be printed in the topology for all interactions. The equilibrium distances and angles are taken from the input coordinates, the force constant are set with command line options.The force fields supported currently are:

G43a1 GROMOS96 43a1 Forcefield (official distribution)

oplsaa OPLS-AA/L all-atom force field (2001 aminoacid dihedrals)

G43b1 GROMOS96 43b1 Vacuum Forcefield (official distribution)

gmx Gromacs Forcefield (a modified GROMOS87, see manual)

G43a2 GROMOS96 43a2 Forcefield (development) (improved alkane dihedrals)

The corresponding data files can be found in the library directory with names like ffXXXX.YYY. Check chapter 5 of the manual for more information about file formats. By default the forcefield selection is interactive, but you can use the -ff option to specify one of the short names above on the command line instead. In that case pdb2gmx just looks for the corresponding file.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

- The atom type selection is primitive. Virtually no chemical knowledge is used

- Periodic boundary conditions screw up the bonding

- No improper dihedrals are generated

- The atoms to atomtype translation table is incomplete (ffG43a1.n2t file in the $GMXLIB directory). Please extend it and send the results back to the GROMACS crew.
