All structures have to be complete in order for pdb2gmx to process them.  The 
only atoms it can add are hydrogens.  All heavy atoms are required.

If you place the missing atom(s) correctly, according to proper geometry, you 
shouldn't be changing the structure too much, but a simple energy minimization 
after you've generated the topology should relax any poor geometry.
