Here is what I have done:

First, I created the .gro file with the command line:
pdb2gmx  -f test.pdb  -o test.gro  -p test.top -ignh -missing


Then, I added at the end of my test.top file the following lines (I double 
checked the atom numbers):

[ distance_restraints ]
; ai aj type index type' low up1 up2 fac
  37 140 1   0     1     0.19 0.21 0.22 1

then, I done:
editconf -f test.gro -o test-box.gro -d 2.0 -c -bt cubic

grompp -c test-box.gro -p test.top -o test-min.tpr -f test-em.mdp

mdrun -s test-min.tpr -c test-min.gro -deffnm test-min -v -nice 0


and finally get my new pdb file with:

editconf -f test-min.gro -o test-min.pdb

But it didn't seemed it had make the two sufur atom closer than if I didn't add 
the distance_restrain in the top file.

Did I do something wrong?


Simple energy minimization is unlikely to give rise to the structural changes you need to bring these atoms close together. Running a short MD simulation may work, though if the atoms are very far apart and you force them together quickly, you may have stability issues.
