What is an RTP file?

RTP files mostly belong to Gromacs by University of Groningen. RTP is a "residual topology" file used by GROMACS. Designed to be used in biochemistry, GROMACS is a software package that performs molecular dynamics calculations and simulations of different molecules like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Usage: When creating a topology for a protein molecule defined in a "Protein Database" (or PDB) file, GROMACS uses an RTP file to read the interaction type data, as well as an ITP file to read parameter data.
Structure: e.RTP is a text file that contains defines the default interaction type between the four bonded interactions and residue entries. These interactions are made up of atoms, bonds, angles, dihedrals, and impropers. It is also possible to define different parameters for these residue entries inside the RTP file, which would override the parameters defined in an ITP file.
Compatibility: GROMACS supports the main operating systems, as well as any other system that has a C/C++ compiler.

How to open RTP files

You need a suitable software like Gromacs to open an RTP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RTP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RTP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert RTP files:

Gromacs by University of Groningen
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. RTP files are often referred to as Gromacs data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
ARTPath (router file) by Gerber
ARTPath is a routing and engraving software developed by Gerber as a component of the OMEGA software suite. This software converts vector graphics into Gerber router/cutter tool paths and comes free with the purchased Gerber router or flatbed cutting system. ARTPath provides the creation of routing speeds and feeds, male and female tool offsets, engraving paths, multiple offsets, multiple depths, clean-outs, inlays, etc. RTP file is a router file that contains a design data like male/female toolpath offsets, speeds/feeds, depths, etc. This file format is classified as Data.

TurboTax (update file) by Intuit
Intuit TurboTax is a tax return software designed for preparing and filing United States federal and state tax returns, and it provides a step-by-step guide helping with the tax return process. RTP file is an update file similar to a software patch. It contains data used for updating TurboTax. This file format is classified as System. Related links: Guide, Support, TurboTax on Wikipedia
Windows (patch file) by Microsoft

RTP file extension format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the RTP files looks like this:

The RTP file extension is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The file formats most commonly found in RTP files are:

40% of all RTP files are RTPatch update/diff data files. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. Most of these files are 930 bytes to 62 MB in size. The file type was developed 20 years ago and is still in use today. Examples of file names are Patch.rtp. Such files sometimes refer to english, splintercell and emea.
6% of all RTP files start with the bytes CD B1 9A E0 74 53 B5 AE, which are crucial for this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The file size is in the range of 290 KB to 990 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: lj%qv.

All other RTP files (54%) have no uniform format, frequently e.g. RTPDump format, GROMACS Residue Topology and PUC. These files are often connected to audio. If you want to find out what your RTP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

an rtp residue topology data file is a special file format by University of Groningen and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with RTP files

Associate the RTP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open residue topology data files. Because only the current version supports the latest RTP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the University of Groningen manufacturer website after an available Gromacs update.
To make sure that your RTP file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
