Dear Justin

On adding this to the rtp file I received the error "Atom  in residue CU 1
was not found in rtp entry CU with 1 atoms
while sorting atoms". for the pdb2gmx command.

Also the warning state




* "Warning: Starting residue CU1 in chain not identified as
Protein/RNA/DNA.Problem with chain definition, or missing terminal
residues.This chain does not appear to contain a recognized chain
molecule.If this is incorrect, you can edit residuetypes.dat to modify the
behavior.8 out of 8 lines of specbond.dat converted successfullyOpening
