Many thanks for this...all is now well.

Wouldn't it be better to couple the Protein and Zn2+ together (i.e., index group Protein_Zn2+)? Coupling ions separately often leads to weird behavior/explosions when they're free in the solvent. I've never dealt with proteins that have ions bound, so I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks about this, just as a point of curiosity.

Garry,
I believe you are trying to not temperature couple the 4 zincs. To do this put the 4 zincs in one group and include that group in the listing of tc_grps and then correspondingly assign tau_t. tau_t=0 means no temperature coupling, but I think you will also need to give a temperature for the tau_t=0 even though that group does not have temperature coupling. See section 7.3.13 in the gromacs user manual.

What does your .mdp file look like? Have you included the Zn2+ within one of
your tc-grps?
