Hi,
It looks like this is your problem:
unknown patch type PT1
ERROR: failed to apply patch
(Yes, psfgen should really crash and burn here...)
I think you meant to type TP1. If you do, you get:
applying patch TP1 to 1 residues
unknown atom type ON3
add atom failed in patch TP1
ERROR: failed to apply patch
Your top_PTR.inp file contains the following note:
! this patch requires that the use of the following
!
!1) protein topology file that contains mass list of atoms in both
! the protein and nucleic acid topology files and
!
! add to the topology file
!MASS 179 ON2b 15.999400 ! Nucleic acid phosphate ester oxygen (pres
tp1/tp2)
!
!2) parameter file that contains both the protein and nucleic acid
! parameters plus the parameters listed below
If I substitute the prot_na topology file for prot_lipid there are other
atom types missing, but if you include them both then psfgen is happy.
Hopefully this will fix your minimization problems.
