Hello everyone

I am trying to set up a nucleic acid only simulation using gromacs 4.5.2

pdb2gmx is giving me only options to cap protein terminals and when I choose
none it gives the error:

"There is a dangling bond at at least one of the terminal ends. Select a
proper terminal entry."

and exits.

below is the program output.
