hello,
I am trying to simulate streptavidin tetramer-biotin complex.I ve
calculated Ligand topology from a sofware PRODRG using gromos87 force
fields.After solvating it,I am getting an error using grompp command

Fatal error:
Atomtype HW not found

can anyone provide me some help?

Thanx with anticipation.
