Re: FATAL ERROR: UNKNOWN PARAMETER IN CHARMM PARAMETER FILE

A parameter file is separate from the topology file (the NAMD
tutorial has pretty good descriptions of both at the end). In your
namd input file, you will need to source the correct parameter file;
probably the standard charmm par_all27_prot_lipid.inp will work.
