Dear Priti,
I think the reason is very obvious; your frcmod file is missing
the necessary parameters to describe the .pdb file. Your frcmod file is
created for the .prepin file. When your non-standard residue is in a
structure, it is bonded to at least one residue. And when it is bonded, u
need to describe the missing parameters. For instance, let's
say that the head atom of your non-standart residue is an 'S', with an
atom type 'sh'. This atom will have a bond with the next residue. And
let's say the tail atom of the next residue is a 'C' with an atom type
'C'. U need to describe, for instance, the bond length of 'sh-C'. This is
just the simplest case. U need to describe the missing angular and
dihedral parameters,etc. too.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
