OSError: Couldn't find block with residue name VAL in the library or input file definitions.

[l454025801]

I want to connect 4 separate itp files into 1. I used the following command:

polyply gen_seq -f C12.itp VVKK.itp OEG_4.itp ../Z33/Z33_mar3.itp -from_file c:C12 v:VVKK o:O4 z:Z33 -seq c v o z -connects 0:1:0-0 1:2:3-0 2:3:3-0 -o seq.json -name test -label 0:"from_itp":"C12-1"

polyply gen_itp -f C12.itp VVKK.itp OEG_4.itp ../Z33/Z33_mar3.itp link.ff -o Z33_O4 -seqf seq.json -name Z33_O4

It gave the errors:

Could you please help with this? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @l454025801,

Happy to help as you're almost there. As you want to connect 4 itp-files all of the residues in the residue graph need to have the "from_itp" label with the value set to that of the molecule name. So your command for making the graph should be more like this:

polyply gen_seq -f C12.itp VVKK.itp OEG_4.itp ../Z33/Z33_mar3.itp -from_file c:C12 v:VVKK o:O4 z:Z33\
-seq c v o z -connects 0:1:0-0 1:2:3-0 2:3:3-0 -o seq.json -name test \
-label 0:"from_itp":"C12-1" 1:"from_itp":"VVKK-1" 2:"from_itp":"OEG4-1" 3:"from_itp":Z33-1

Please note that in the last line of this command I simply guessed your molecule names. You may have to adjust those. Finally in case you haven't done it you will need to install the version from GitHub not pypi in order to avoid one bug that only recently has been fixed.

Also be aware that in your link file the indices seem strange. Note that by_atom_id refers to the atom ids in the final molecule. For example the bond 5 5 1 0.41 2000 would result in a bond between atom 5 with itself NOT between atom 5 in two bonded residues. It is easiest to first just stitch together the itp files and then see which atoms you want to connect and adjust the links.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if there are any other issues.

If you want a "clean example" have a look at the commands below:

1. First we make some itp files to be connected

   polyply gen_params -lib martini3 -seq PEO:2 -o A.itp -name PEO
   polyply gen_params -lib martini3 -seq PS:2 -o B.itp -name PS
   polyply gen_params -lib martini3 -seq PE:2 -o C.itp -name PE

2. Next we generate the sequence graph

   polyply gen_seq -f A.itp B.itp C.itp -from_file a:PEO b:PS c:PE -seq a b c -connects 0:1:0-0 1:2:1-0 \
   -o seq.json -name test -label 0:"from_itp":"PEO-1" 1:"from_itp":PS-1 2:"from_itp":PE-1

3. Now we write the link file.

   [ link ]
   [ molmeta ]
   by_atom_id true
   [ bonds ]
   2  6   1 3000 0.43 ; bond between backbone PEO and PS
   10 11 1 3000 0.43 ; bond between backbone PS and PE

4. The we generate the final itp, which should run without warnings.

   polyply gen_params -f A.itp B.itp C.itp link.ff -seqf seq.json -o test.itp -name test

Thank you very much! It works alright now!

Good to hear! I will convert this issue to a discussion so that other people can see it as well. But feel free to still comment here when you have any other problems related to this
