Hi Uday,

You have a residues of hydroxyproline, which is not one of the 20 amino
acids, in the pdb. Thus, it is not defined in the topology file.
(It's named HYP in the pdb.) You could alter the topology file and add a
residue called HYP. Since the residue is simply a normal proline with an
'O-H' instead of an 'H' off of the gamma carbon, it might be fine to copy
the topology entry for proline and alter it accordingly. You should be
aware, however, that the partial charges may be slightly different.

Furthermore, in performing a simulation, you'd also need to add to the
parameter file accordingly. I'm not aware of any other way to solve your
problem.
