Hi,

Building whole capping groups has never been in scope for pdb2gmx, and
particularly not for the AMBER force fields, which use specially
parameterised charged amino acid termini (for example). IIRC there are also
some neutral capping groups in .rtp files that are usable as residues, but
pdb2gmx does not have the ability to patch them on. It seems like you need
another tool.
