 Hi ,
I did same as you suggest me,  but now new error is coming as shown below.
 I just backed up topol.top to ./#topol.top.30#
Processing chain 1 (64 atoms, 7 residues)
Identified residue ACE0 as a starting terminus.
Identified residue CT31 as a ending terminus.
8 out of 8 lines of specbond.dat converted successfully
Select start terminus type for ACE-0
 0: NH3+
 1: NH2
 2: None
2
Start terminus ACE-0: None
Select end terminus type for CT3-1
 0: CT3
 1: COO-
 2: COOH
 3: CT2
 4: None

End terminus CT3-1: None

-------------------------------------------------------
Program:     gmx pdb2gmx, version 2016.2
Source file: src/gromacs/gmxpreprocess/pdb2gmx.cpp (line 753)

Fatal error:
Atom H31 in residue ACE 0 was not found in rtp entry ACE with 6 atoms
while sorting atoms.

For a hydrogen, this can be a different protonation state, or it
might have had a different number in the PDB file and was rebuilt
(it might for instance have been H3, and we only expected H1 & H2).
Note that hydrogens might have been added to the entry for the N-terminus.
Remove this hydrogen or choose a different protonation state to solve it.
Option -ignh will ignore all hydrogens in the input.

For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS

 The spacing is fine in real pdb.
