Dear All
I used the following command sequentially to prepare file for energy
minimization and subsequent MD run.
1. pdb2gmx  -f *.pdb -o seq.gro -p seq.top
2. editconf -f seq.gro -o seq_box.gro -d 1.0 -bt cubic
3. genbox   -cp seq_box.gro -cs spc216.gro -o seq_b4ion.gro -p seq.top
4. grompp   -c seq_b4ion.gro -p seq.top -o seq_b4ion.tpr -f em.mdp
grompp gives following error.processing topology...

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.7

Fatal error:
There were 9 errors in input file(s)

  pdb2gmx works properly using ff43a1 forcefield. My protein contains
Heme. I was having N-terminal ACE group which I simply deleted from
the pdb.
Am I right in deleting this group. How should I proceed to get rid of
this error.


That seems like a particularly poor solution. Simply getting rid of an inconvenient group does not sound appropriate. Ask yourself whether or not there is some functionally significant reason to having the ACE group there (chain truncation? artificial modification?) and decide.

As for the errors, look into the topology to see which atoms are causing the problems. Then decide if there are indeed appropriate parameters in the force field for this task.

Thanks in anticipation of help.
