Thank you Dr Case

Since I have never used AMBER. I will try your suggestion I hope it will work ! if not i will the others suggestions.

You should run parmchk to get the missing parameters: Pretend you were making
an amber topology file: run antechamber, then run parmchk (see the example
in section 4.2 of the AmberTools Users' Manual). If you are lucky, parmchk
will suggest a torsion parameter for you, and you can enter that into the
gromacs files.

Of course, if the torsional barrier is important, you may want to parameterize
it by a more accurate method, as others have suggested.

...good luck...dac
