If I recall correctly, the residue number printed by pdb2gmx is actually the residue index (starting from zero), so the problematic residue is MLE, which
does have CB.

Good thought, but the index here starts counting from 1 (and has done so for at least as far back as 4.5.5), so it really means residue 7.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for the fast response. That makes sense, but the problematic residue is actually both I guess - I tried just a trimer of ALA-SAR-ALA, and it chokes, it also fails with the same error for the trimer of ALA-MLE-ALA, while a different nonstandard amino acid that I made succeeds as a trimer ALA-ABA-ALA - the major difference perhaps being the fact that the peptide bond N is methylated for MLE and SAR but not for ABA that suceeds? This is what MLE looks like:

I think the critical difference here is that you may not be building hydrogens for MLE in this structure, whereas you were in the SAR example earlier. Giving your pdb2gmx command lines would perhaps have made things easier to understand w.r.t. use of -ignh or not. pdb2gmx is failing at a point consistent with the timing of hydrogen building, but perhaps I might patch it to be more explicit about that. I'm expecting that your .hdb entries for some of these new residues refer to CB and this generates the error. Using pdb2gmx -debug 1, or trying the above example with -ignh may prove illuminating, also.
