Here is what I do: > - > Apply pdb2gmx to the pdb file to convert it to .gro and .top (pdb2gmx -f -p -o) That's not quite the purpose of pdb2gmx. pdb2gmx generates the molecular topology in the .top file, and sanitizes the contents of the coordinate file, *by default* writing a .gro file. You could write this file in another format if you chose.

In future, it's always a good idea to include your actual commands via copy-and-paste, else we are reduced to guessing whether you've done various things right or wrong, and that wastes our time and might not get you the help you need :-) Here, a small sample of the "unrelated" information might also have helped us understand the issue.
