Back Off! I just backed up nt17_em.tpr to ./#nt17_em.tpr.4#
There was 1 warning*

Any suggestions would be appreciated .. Also I do believe that the order might be a problem..but isnt an inclusion of the no .of molecules meant to take care of that ?

Thanks

OK, that's clear now. What's happening is that grompp is finding water molecules where it should be finding protein. Including a "number of protein molecules" does not automatically fix anything, necessarily. Again, I ask, are your proteins the same?

If they are different, you will need to have a mechanism something like:

#include "Protein_A.itp"
#include "Protein_B.itp"

#include "spc.itp"

#include "ions.itp"

to get the desired behavior.

Bottom line - check the order of the molecules in your .gro file, you'll likely find that the order is not the same as the topology expects it.

    Several questions come to mind, aside from trying to sift through
    your interpretation of error messages.  Hint: always show your
    exact command, followed by the relevant portion of the screen
    output; that way we don't have to guess what you've been up to :-)

    1. Do you have two different proteins, or are they the same?  If
    they are different, changing the number of Protein molecules in
    your topology will not be correct.  If they are the same, this is
    fine.

    2. Does the order of your topology follow the order of the
    coordinate file?  When you get warnings about non-matching atom
    names, you should be alert that something has gone wrong.

        Dear GMX Users,

        I am trying to set up a simulation box with two proteins. I
        have perused the archives about the methodology of doing so. I
        tried the recommended option of changing the number of protein
        molecules in the topology file to 2. However when I run grompp
        after editconf and genbox, I get warning that the number of co
        -ordinates do not match (since I had not updated the number of
        solvent molecules ...) After updating the number of solvent
        molecules, when I try running grompp again, it shows a warning
        that the 23644 atom names do not match in top and gro files
        and that atom names from top files are being chosen .

        Upon subsequent mdrun, the system explodes after a 1-4
        interaction warning.

        I was wondering whether anyone could help me out on this ... I
        do understand that the topic has been discussed pretty often
        but would appreciate any help ...


        Cheers

        Kartik

        PS: I have not yet tried the other suggestion of translation
        and rotation followed by concatenating the two files
