and meanwhile, I have modifide the ffG43a1.rtp, ffG43a1bon.itp, ffG43a1nb.itp files in order to include the relative parameters. Then add a table.xvg (actually the default 6-12 Lennard Jones potential form, I just renamed it so it will be read for describing the interaction of atom pairs which are not list in the energygrp_table section) and four table****.xvg contain the interaction information of AU OW, AU CL, CL OW, CL H.
but unfortunatly, the corresponding em.log file is follow:
Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 500
Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)
Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 12 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 500.

the force is very large and I have tried to adjust "emstep" and other options but seems has no influence on the result, can anyone help me on this problem, any suggestion will be very, very grateful. Thank you. By the way, I have ajusted the No. of water moleculars in the simulation box but almost has no infulence on the result.

The magnitude of the PE is such that you've probably not made any catastrophic errors. Make sure you get the sign of the table columns correct for various derivatives correct. Otherwise, have a look at atom 1236 and see what might be wrong in that region.
