Well, I don't know where you got the dppc molecule from, I thought you  
said you didn't have any DPPC structure with hydrogens? Anyway, I'll  
send you the current version of the charmm force field for GROMACS (in  
a separate e-mail) but I'm afraid I cannot help you in building the  
residue. I think it might be quite a lot of work if you don't know how  
CHARMM is doing it. My suggestion is that you search/ask the CHARMM  
mailing list for how DPPC is constructed.

What you need for running CHARMM ff in GROMACS are the files I'll send  
you and the latest version of the source code (i.e. do a git pull and  
recompile).
