I can't eliminate it, I decided to do , but when I studied about the structure of protein ( consists of 2 monomers, which form a dimer in lipid bilayer, and the reason of this formation is the existence of formyl residues in N-teminals) . Then I got regretful to remove it. Don't you agree?

 
Sincerely,
Shima

Please see the previous posts on these topics, including the post from just a few minutes ago where I discovered the source of the problem.  The FOR residue issue has been an ongoing discussion over several weeks.  I will maintain that I do not necessarily believe that a two-atom model of a formyl group is sufficiently accurate for a Gromos force field, since the alpha proton is very polar and thus may need to be explicitly represented.  I have stated my skepticism before but it appears Shima is pursuing the current course.  Side note ;)
