If you're trying to simulate a zwitterionic Phe residue, the AMBER force 
field (at least, as implemented in GROMACS) does not support such a 
species. If you want to cap it with acetyl and amide caps, you will need 
to build those entities yourself and specify them as separate residues 
(ACE and NME).
