You haven't added caps onto the input protein, you should expect to get this
error. In the tutorial, I build ACE and NH2 groups onto the peptide to
neutralize the termini. Since you haven't done this type of modification,
pdb2gmx will die because you have incomplete amides at the ends of the chain.
The "None" terminus instructs pdb2gmx to not build additional H (in the case of
NH2 or NH3+ termini) or O(H) (for COO- and COOH). It doesn't make any chemical
sense to use "None" for non-capped protein chains.
