I think there is a tdb problem when using pdb2gmx on a single amino acid. The tdb databases replaces the CA with different charges depending on whether its a c or n termini. When its a single amino acid you get the c terminal charge and thus the overall charge is incorrect. Am I missing something?

That will depend somewhat on which force field you're using. A quick look at ffG53a6-n/c.tdb indicates there should be no conflict; CA is only replaced in the -n.tdb file, there is no competing CA replacement in -c.tdb. In OPLS, you just have to be sure you're choosing the zwitterion form for each terminus (since you have a zwitterionic single amino acid), or else you will get conflict.
