Hi Chaofu,
I run into the same problem when directly converting a pdb file downloaded online. The reason is that CG Tools plugin require VMD friendly pdb file. If a psf file is presented, the coupled pdb file is normally prepared by VMD too. I tested that such a friendly pdb file can be converted without psf file. To reprepare a pdb file into psf/pdb pairs by VMD, please check the user guide/tutorials of psfgen or NAMD, which includes step by step instruction how to do so.
Sorry that I did not check it before previous reply.
Dong

Dear Dong and VMDers,
Thank you very much! I had thought so, but an error arises as presented below. Thus, this might be due to that psf file is not provided. How to deal with this problem?
Chaofu Wu
No PSF file loaded. I'll go ahead and do the coarse graining, but it might not work properly. You might want to run again after loading a PSF file.

more detail is as follows:

By information on http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/cgtools/, I don't see why psf file is required for the AA (all-atoms) model. Only pdb file is used for the conversion. No Charmm or OPLS force field parameter files are needed. But you do need a psf file to run simulations for newly coverted CG molecule. Just follow instructions in the link.

Subject: vmd-l: CGTools with pdb and top files
Dear VMDers,
I try to use the CGTools plugin to perform the conversion from AA to CG. As confirmed that, both pdb and psf files are required for the AA model. However, I have only a top file in the format of GROMACS instead of a psf file. In the top file, all parameters are described by the OPLSAA force field. How should I perform the conversion with only pdb and top file in hand? Or How should I modify the tool to achieve this? Please give me some hints. Thank you very much!
