Re: error in starting the minimization

Hello Brian,

I think I know what the problem is. My first residue is a GLY. I made the
mistake of assigning NTER for capping it and I think that this is why it
is complaining (I deleted the GLY, re-did all the settings and now
minimization goes ahead with no problems). I searched the topology file
for charmm27 and I found something called GLYP which looks like the
equivalent of NTER for GLY at N-terminus.

Thank you,

Ruxandra
