Hi Lily,
it is correct that psfgen uses only the topology file, and namd uses
only the parameter file. This is because the topology file contains the
information necessary to /build /the molecule (charges, connectivities,
and such), but the paramter file contains the information for
simulations (bond strengths and such). Please see the secion on top and
par files in the namd tutorial for more information:
