QM calculations are not reliant on MM topologies, like those from PRODRG (which 
are poor quality anyway) or any force field terms.

GROMACS does not do QM directly, though there are interfaces to popular QM codes 
for doing QM/MM.  For strict QM, abandon GROMACS and use the appropriate software.

Again, for a pure QM calculation, there is no need for any MM programs or force 
fields.
