Fatal error:  
atom N not found in buiding block 415GSG2 while combining tdb and rtp

Hi, I am attempting to run MD on a protein that has undergone S-Glutathionylation and I do not understand the error that I am receiving. I believe my pdb and gromos 54a7ff have both been adequately modified to incorporate the s-glutathionylation. Where could this error be coming from? Why does it refer to an error in building block 415GSG2 when this is not present in the PDB?
