[gmx-users] Hydrogens missing during parameterization

Well, ffG43a2 is a GROMOS FF too! So look at the topology and you'll  
see that
it also misses some NON_POLAR hydrogens. You probably generated you itp
file using pdb2gmx and got a gro file with it. Then the absence of H  
did not
appear!

The H that are involved in H-bonding are explicitly represented in  
GROMOS FF.
The ones that are united are the NON-POLAR ones, typically in CH3/CH2  
and CH
groups! Check the ffG43a2.rtp file, it contains residues topologies ...

Again I would suggest you get into some literature before going on.  
One day
reading some papers on the GROMOS FF would be instructive :))
