Hi:
I was running MD without problems for a protein with namd 2.9-cuda,
amber PARM7 ff (unfortunately I have no access to amber code running
cuda).

Now, I have inserted a short lipid between two aa, using GAFF params
for the lipid. Now, minimization could not be carried out: "Error: the
periodicity of dihedral #249 is zero!"

Here the relevant part of prmtop file, where the said zero is at line
3 from the bottom:

I am aware that CHARMM27 uses n= 1, 2, 3, 4 in

V DA = V n [ 1 + cos (n φ2 − φ 0 )]

while I don't know if the above zero is allowed in PARM7, or if it is
an error anyway.

Frankly, I don't know from where to begin to fix the problem, and
which other data should I produce to get help.

Thanks for your understanding
