Dear David (van der Spoel)

I made a trial with pdb2gmx using -ter option as you suggested but without success. I also tried with -inter option but it didn't work. The program did not give me any chance to reject the option of adding TER or other kind of atoms. It just gives me the same error. Am I doing something wrong? I have also read a lot of messages in the gromacs list related with pdb2gmx errors but no one give me any idea of how to resolve my problem. The reading of chapter 5 of gromacs manual neither. I found in the gromacs list many people complaining about pdb2gmx looked for atoms which it didn't exist in their pdb's or rtp files. Quite similar to my problem, but aparently they were able to solve it.

Below I am adding the complete error mesagge of pdb2gmx, may be you can give any clue of what is happening.
please give the whole command line

pdb2gmx -ignh -ter should be OK, but if you nee dhydrogens you also have to make/update the hdb file.

Fatal error:

             while sorting atoms. Maybe different protonation state.
             Remove this hydrogen or choose a different protonation state.

I'm trying to build a polymer with a new building block. I have included the new topology block inside the force field rtp file, which I've choosen
for my simulation (ffG53a6.rtp).
I've also prepared a gro input file, where the atoms of each residue follows
the same order as in the rtp file I also added the new residues names in
aminoacids.dat

The problem is: when I run pdb2gmx to obtain the topology of my system it
gives me the following error:

Fatal error:
Atom H1 in residue VBT 2 not found in rtp entry with 24 atoms while sorting atoms. Maybe different protonation state. Remove this hydrogen or choose a different protonation state. Option -ignh will ignore all hydrogens in the
input.

But there's no H1 atom in my residues. Is pdb2gmx including some extra atoms
to complete my molecule?
Could anyone give any clue about my problem?

yes. pdb2gmx thinks your molecule is a protein and want to add Hydrogens
to the termini. Use the -ter flag and select None.
