Your approach is right, if you want a polymer like ESF (EST)n ESL.
If your problem is in the atp file, make sure you use the right one, as
Anton suggested. Otherwise check carefully the messages from pdb2gmx and
if you don't succeed come back to the list. You do have to run
pdb2gmx -inter 
to prevent it from adding protein termini to your molecule.
