*Dear gmx-users,
I am trying to insert a custom residue (a phosphoserine) in Gromacs using force field Amber ff99sb-ildn.
I created a new .rtp entry named SEP like this:*

[SEP]
 [ atoms ]
     N    N           -0.49370     1
     H    H            0.30180     2

     CB   CT           0.07820     5
     HB1  H1          -0.06020     6
     HB2  H1          -0.06020     7
     OG   OS          -0.55930     8
     PS   P            1.40000     9
     OPA  O2          -0.85000    10
     OPB  O2          -0.85000    11
     OPC  O2          -0.85000    12
     C    C            0.67310    13
     O    O           -0.58540    14

    CA    CB

    CB    OG
    OG    PS
    PS   OPA
    PS   OPB
    PS   OPC
     C     O

*After that, I got this error:*

WARNING: atom H is missing in residue SEP 124 in the pdb file
You might need to add atom H to the hydrogen database of building block SEP
         in the file aminoacids.hdb (see the manual)

Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.5.3
Source code file: pdb2top.c, line: 1449

Fatal error:
There were 4 missing atoms in molecule Protein_chain_A, if you want to use this incomplete topology anyhow, use the option -missing

So, I modified aminoacids.hdb adding a new entry for SEP:*

SEP     4
1       1       H       N       -C      CA
1       5       HA      CA      N       CB      C
2       4       HB      CB      CA      N
*

You have specified that there are 4 lines to be read for SEP (first line of the entry), but only 3 follow it. This will raise the fatal error, because the file format is now broken.

but when I tried to use pdb2gmx in order to create .gro and .top files I got the following error:*
-------------------------------------------------------
Program pdb2gmx, VERSION 4.5.3
Source code file: h_db.c, line: 174

Fatal error:
Error reading from file /usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top//amber99sb-ildn.ff/aminoacids.hdb

*This is not making any sense to me, since the file is still there, and the only change was the new SEP entry...*
I appreciate any help you could give!
Best regards
Alberto
