Dear Justin

I am doing simulation of membrane protein .I follow your tutorial for that I think its perfect for that. But I am getting problem in doing inflategro step, I alredy discuss this problem with you but now I am starting everything fresh I have completed upto concatanation of protein with lipid bilayer after that for packing of lipid around protein I am using inflategro script from teleman website . Problem came in second step of inflategro i.e for energy minimisation for this I need topology file of "protein-lipid system".
I am giving you information in detail i.e -
for topology file I have made changes in topol.top file which I got from pdb2gmx command in first step for protein processing ,the topol .top file is like this-
File 'topol.top' was generated

And the change topology file is like this-

; Include forcefield parameters
#include "ffG53a6_lipid.itp"

; Include chain topologies
#include "topol_A.itp"
#include "topol_B.itp"

#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre_A.itp"
#include "posre_B.itp"
#endif

I think you've been told before that this is garbage. [position_restraints] directives are components of a [moleculetype], and so must come before the [moleculetype] of a subsequent molecule. Your use of the last four #include preprocessing commands violates this. You should make two #ifdef POSRES sections appropriately.

; Include DMPC chain topology
#include "dmpc.itp"


[ system ]
; Name
Protein in DMPC bilayer

[ molecules ]
; Compound        #mols
Protein_A           1
Protein_B           1
DMPC               128

but when I gave this topology file to grompp it shws error-
no. of coordinates in coordinate file doesn,t mach the topology file .

OK, so do the arithmetic and see what the problem is.

Can you suggest me something for making topology file for protein-lipid bilayer system. Is there any other method for making topology file ,I have read in mannual chapter 5 but there is also mentioned same method. If possible please help me becoz without solving this problem I can't move for furthur processing .

* My gro file of protein shows 9902 atoms .
As you ask in previous mail is .itp file have [ molecules ] section the answer is the .itp file haven't molecules section it have [molecule type ] section can it also create problem for topology file working.

So you have 9902 atoms in your coordinate file. How many atoms are in protein A, protein B and the 128 copies of DMPC *according to their [moleculetype] definitions*?
