This is correct formatting, according to the PDB file format! Of the
four character positions denoting the atom name, the first two are
used to indicate the element.

But what is this talking about pdb2gmx if there's a hand written
.top/.itp file in stead of an .rtp entry? Of course it will fail. And
if that's not the problem, Nilesh is still not providing a proper
description of what he's doing.
