Hi, Justin,
thank you for your reply.
I have just checked my .itp files.
I have 7 itp files:
- one is generated by doing genpr to define the restraints on the protein;
- six (two for each chain of my complex) are generated directly by pdb2gmx (first step of my simulation).

The first itp file is ok: numbers are consecutive and starting from1.
The other six files have not consecutive numbers (I paste here the first lines of one of these files):

[ position_restraints ]
; atom  type      fx      fy      fz
     1     1  1000  1000  1000
     4     1  1000  1000  1000
     5     1  1000  1000  1000
     6     1  1000  1000  1000
     7     1  1000  1000  1000

Since they are automatically generated by pdb2gmx, how can I fix the problem?

Let's go back to the original problem (which should not be related to the position restraint files; they will not be numbered consecutively). The error message states that the residue numbers are not numbered consecutively from 1. Your problem is coming from residue numbering, not atomic numbering (apologies for my typo in the last mail).

So you need to be examining the chain topologies and structure files to make sure that the numbering matches up, and begins with 1.

Thank you very much.

        Hi everybody,
        I am setting up an MD run on a peptide-protein complex with
        gromacs. I have defined the box and solvated the system, but now
        I'd like to equilibrate the solvent, so I tried with grompp, but
        an error occurs:

        Fatal error:
        Residue numbers in the .top are not numbered consecutively from 1

        I paste here my file .top:

        ; Include forcefield parameters
        #include "ffG43a2.itp"

        ; Include chain topologies
        #include "a.complex_A.itp"
        #include "a.complex_B.itp"
        #include "a.complex_C.itp"

        ; Include water topology
        #include "spc.itp"

        #ifdef POSRES_WATER
        ; Position restraint for each water oxygen

        Protein_C           1
        SOL             28799

        I have searched in the wiki and in the archives of the mailing
        list, but I have found no hints on how I could fix it.
        Does anybody know how can I manage to make grompp work?


    The problem actually pertains to (at least) one of the chains you've
    included. Numbering is inconsistent in that file.  Check the .itp
    files and make sure the atoms are numbered consecutively.

        Thank you in advance,
        best regards,
