I am using parameters already developed for CHARMM. So I guess the parameters are right and I am sure there is no error in the trasformation from CHARMM to GROMACS format. May the option "-zero" in grompp solve my problem?


Well, using "grompp -zero" will bypass the error by zeroing out all terms for the unknown dihedrals. If there are 96 of them, that means you will have completely incorrect bonded interactions.

If you have parameters that should work for this particular molecule, they are not being found in ffbonded.itp. That's the problem. So you can resolve the problem by adding bonded parameters to that file or defining them locally in your .top with a suitably placed [dihedrals] (or whatever else) directive.

Dear gromacs users,
I am trying to build the topology for a protein-ligands system. When I run grompp I obtain 96 of the following errors:

ERROR 1 [file topol_Protein_chain_S.itp, line 38658]:
  No default Proper Dih. types

The errors correctly says that dihedral parameters are missing for my ligands. My question is, there is a method to avoid considering such a dihedrals, avoiding topology editing? In other words, I don't wanna edit the .top file removing by-hand the lines generating the error.

If you're missing parameters, you need to assign them. Whether or not that requires deriving new dihedral types depends on the complexity of the molecule.
