The tutorial chooses no terminal patching because I already built on 
capping groups (acetyl and amide) to both termini. If this is not the 
case in your system, it's not an appropriate choice.

That's chemically impossible but at least it's a syntactically correct 
choice.

Don't ignore these - they mean you probably have missing residues in the 
structure.

I'm not sure any of the above is in any way related to the InflateGRO 
failure (and really, without the coordinate file itself, there's not 
much to go on) but you have plenty to consider about how reasonable your 
starting system is.
