Dear Justin, Thank you for your reply. Yeah I have modified my force field to include the phosphorylated Serine residue. Below is the pdb2gmx command employed
pdb2gmx -f alpha_ser129p.pdb -o alpha_sep129p.gro -ff gromos43a1 -ignh error : Fatal error: Atom OXT in residue ALA 140 was not found in rtp entry ALA with 6 atoms while sorting atoms. snippet of my PDB file.

Does it mean it does not consider the rest of the residues?? Please explain me regarding this.
