> Actually, in the ffbonded.itp file, I put two parameters for C-C which the new one referes to the graphene, and, I cannot change the names in the itp file since the graphene atom names are C.Is this an important warning (May it affect the stability of the system and results)? Or may I use -maxwarn?

Atom *names* and *types* are different beasts.  Types are used in 
ffnonbonded.itp and applied to the atoms found in the topology.  Atom names are 
irrelevant for parameter assignment.  But here you have introduced clearly 
conflicting parameters that will alter the behavior of the conflicting types, 
e.g. any aromatic rings in your peptide will behave incorrectly if you proceed 
with what you're doing.

In general, do not use -maxwarn unless you can clearly articulate why you're 
overriding a serious warning from grompp, not simply to make a problem go away.
