If you are using trjconv, a gro or pdb can be fed to -s option. tpr is not necessary.

Hmm...well the thing is, I just need a .tpr file (which I was getting with pdb2gmx followed by grompp) so I can convert an amber pdb trajectory to xtc format. The simulation is already complete, I'm just converting it, but of course the atoms from the tpr need to match those of the trajectory. So should I still be doing something different other than my idea to change the residue names of the .itp files, as mentioned previously? Sorry for some of my ignorance, I'm still new with much of this. Thanks for all the suggestions and input! Thanks,
Russell Green

    it's still not clear what you want to do. if your CYS are at 0.2 nm
    distance pdb2gmx will make the bonds. if they are not, why would you
    want them to form? anyway, if you want to do that, please follow
    Tsjerk's advice below.
