Copy and paste the coordinates into the pdb2gmx-processed coordinate file (note 
that you can keep .pdb format or convert to .gro easily with editconf).  The 
solvent and ion topologies are #included in the pdb2gmx-produced topology 
already, you just need to update the [molecules] directive accordingly.
