3 <h1>rtp file format
</h1>
5 The rtp file extension stands for residue toplogy.
6 Such a file is needed by
<a href=
"pdb2gmx.html">pdb2gmx
</a>
7 to make a GROMACS topology for a protein contained in a
<tt>.pdb
</tt>
8 file. The file contains the default interaction type for the
4 bonded
9 interactions and residue entries, which consist of atoms and
10 optionally bonds, angles dihedrals and impropers.
11 Parameters can be added to bonds, angles, dihedrals and impropers,
12 these parameters override the standard parameters
13 in the
<a href=
"itp.html"><tt>.itp
</tt></a> files.
14 This should only be used in special cases.
15 Instead of parameters a string can be added for each bonded interaction,
16 the string is copied to the
<a href=
"top.html"><tt>.top
</tt></a> file,
17 this is used for the GROMOS96 forcefield.
19 <a href=
"pdb2gmx.html">pdb2gmx
</a> automatically generates all angles,
20 this means that the
<tt>[angles]
</tt> field is only
21 useful for overriding
<a href=
"itp.html"><tt>.itp
</tt></a> parameters.
23 <a href=
"pdb2gmx.html">pdb2gmx
</a> automatically generates one proper
24 dihedral for every rotatable bond, preferably on heavy atoms.
25 When the
<tt>[dihedrals]
</tt> field is used, no other dihedrals will
26 be generated for the bonds corresponding to the specified dihedrals.
27 It is possible to put more than one dihedral on a rotatable bond.
