If you're saying the coordinate file you get from PRODRG doesn't match 
the .itp file you get from PRODRG, then you should take that up with 
them. If however they match and you're then running that coordinate file 
through pdb2gmx and losing atoms, then read check out 
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/File_Formats/Coordinate_File#On_the_need_for_a_.gro_file 
and rethink your workflow.
