I want to run MD over a part of my molecule , for few residues only

Can I do it using GROMACS ?
I searched for the online documentation and mailing list, but
unable to get appropriate information.
If somebody has already tried such things earlier, please suggest
and direct me for appropriate link and address.
Well, if your goal is to keep certain parts fixed and allow others
to move, probably the easiest way to do it is to apply position
restraints to the "fixed" part.
You can also set parts of the system as a freeze group, in which case
you can exclude all nonbonded interactions inside the freeze group
with the energygrp_excl option in your mdp file.
The main advantage of this is of course that you will improve
performance if 99% of your system is frozen (although all interactions
between the frozen and non-frozen parts still have to be calculated).
On the other hand, completely freezing part of the system is not very
realistic, and you're likely to get strange behavior in the interface...
Cheers,
Erik
