I am trying to work with nanotubes using NAMD and VMD. I have got the
'Simulation of water permeation through nanotubes' tutorial files from
(http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/science/nanotubes/nanotubes-html/index.html)
and I´ve tried
to generate the nanotubes.psf file from the nanotubes.pdb file, I was
using the following
commands:
package require psfgen
topology par_nanotubes.inp
coordpdb nanotubes.pdb
writepdb nano.pdb
writepsf nano.psf
And I obtain many errors like this:
PSFGEN from NAMD 2.5 for Win32-i686
reading topology file par_nanotubes.inp
This is a reduced version of the CHARMM22 parameter file for
a nanotube simulation in water

reading coordinates from pdb file nanotubes.pdb
no segment NT1
Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C000 ARM:1 NT1
no segment NT1
Warning: failed to set coordinate for atom C001 ARM:1 NT1
no segment NT1
until the end of the nanotubes.pdb file:
Info: writing pdb file nano.pd
Info: pdb file complete.
Info: writing psf file nano.ps
total of 0 atoms
total of 0 bonds
total of 0 angles
total of 0 dihedrals
total of 0 impropers
Info: psf file complete.
I would like to know how to solve this problem, because I want to
generate my own
nanotubes 'pdb file' and try to do other kinds of simulations in NAMD
and VMD.
Maybe the commands I have used are incomplete to make the correct
transformation
from pdb to psf file.
a lot of thanks,
David L. Azevedo
