Dear Gromcacs users,


I have carried out 25 ns simulation of membrane-protein systems. Now, I
would like to do position restrain of ions for the next 1-2 ns. I have KCl
in my system. I used ' genrestr ' for generating the position restrain for
ions  using the following command -

genrestr -f md50.gro -o ions-rest.itp

I have included ions-rest.itp in the .top file  with proper ' ifdef '  term
as mention in tutorials. Unfortunately, the grommp shows error message -  "
Atom index (2) in position_restraints out of bounds (1-1). This probably
means that you have inserted topology section "position_restraints"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to" . I have
seen from Gromcas mail list that many faced similar issues and this usually
comes from the mismatch in atom indices. Unfortunately, I could not find
complete solution for it yet. Few queries in this regard are,

1. How can I generate a position restrain file for ions or any set of
molecules in the system? my topology file have following hierarchy,

2. Where all I can use the .itp file for a particular group generate with '
genrestr' command?


Restraints are applied on a per-moleculetype basis; hence genrestr is very limited in what it can do (multiple molecules won't work without considerable effort).

The only way to restrain the ions within this setup is to modify ions.itp to specify restraints within the relevant [moleculetype] directives.
