    In order to avoid the three waters exchange with the solvent waters, how to 
constrain solvent waters adding in active site when i solvate protein and 
diffusing in active site during diffuse dynamic simulation. can i set some 
parameters in mdp file to slove the problem?


You could set up distance restraints (not constraints, that's a very different concept) in the topology. Doing so requires that the water molecules of interest are merged into the protein [moleculetype] and thus require additional modifications to other directives in the topology. Bookkeeping is not trivial when dealing with such systems, but can be done if you're careful.

Subject: some waters in active site of receptor

Dear,
      there are three waters in active site of receptor, mediating the binding 
of ligand with target protein. i want to study the three waters how to affect 
the binding of ligand with target protein and the contribution to the stability 
of the system.
      In order to study the role of the waters, i want to compare some diffrent 
system models. The first model have all a waters in active site ,the second 
model have two waters and the third have one water , the fourth have none water 
in acitve site. however, i don't know how to construct simulation models  of 
those. when i use the genbox program to add solvent to my system,  i find there 
are many other waters being added to the active site and i think the waters 
which are added by genbox program  maybe replace the initial three waters and 
then i can't study the waters in active site.
      please hlpe me and then tell me how to do it
Thank you very much!
