Hi Shima,
    i do not think pdb2gmx uses the tdb files. However, I feel that the FOR
tdb entries should go to aminoacids.c.tdb and not aminoacids.n.tdb

I saw your other thread where you have described the FOR topology you added.
I think the atoms should be CA and O and their respective atom types,
CH1/CH2 and O.

I guess you already have partial charges for the atoms? Shouldn't that solve
the problem with VAL that Justin highlighted, without having to comment out
the impropers line?

Regards,
Shounak
