Thank you for your reply,

I have been using [ position_restraints ], I do not know why it came out that way in the mail. I agree with you, the problem probably comes from the position the code lies in inside the .top file. I put it at the end of the file because I thought that was the way it was supposed to be done. Perhaps this is incorrect.


That is incorrect. The position restraints must belong to the [moleculetype] of the species to be restrained. Once you #include a new molecule, you start a new [moleculetype] entry and the position restraints belong to it. Putting it at the very end of a file probably has no effect whatsoever on any of the species in your system.

The final lines of the .top file are:

Include generic topology for ions
#include "ions.itp"

[ system ]
; Name
Protein

[ molecules ]
; Compound        #mols
Protein_A           1
