[gmx-users] pdb2gmx with amber99 can't find an atom in a DNA duplex

Hi. Can someone please help me.
I am new to Gromacs. I have a 20mer DNA duplex I want to do some MD on. I
start by making a topology file form the pdb file. When I run pdb2gmx and
the amber99 force field I get this fatal error:'Atom 02 in residue DT 3 not
found in rtp entry with 32 atoms while sorting atoms'

Here is the portion of the pdb file containing the atom in question:
ATOM     37  C4   DA A   2       2.705  -1.868   3.118  1.00  0.00

ATOM     38  C3'  DA A   2       6.858  -4.420   2.715  1.00  0.00

ATOM     45  C5'   DT A   3       7.588  -0.948   4.004  1.00  0.00

Where atom 02 must be O1P in DT 3

Here is the portion of the amber99 .rtf file for the DT nucleotide:

   O3'    amber99_44   -0.52320    32

I can't see why atom 02 shouldn't be found.

I am running GROMACS 4.0.5 on Mac OS 10.5

Thanks,
Gunnar W.
