Hi Justin,

Thanks for the reply and here is the following which I am doing. I would
appreciate if you can point out my errors.


1) I am working on 1K4C (KcSA) and i downloaded that from www.pdb.org and
after that I cleaned the PBD file, removed all the HETATOMS and ATOMS with
ligand A & B and also removed the TER atoms. So my cleaned PDB file i.e.
(1K4C_clean.pdb) consists of atoms with ligands C and #of atoms are 765.

2) After getting the 1K4C_clean.pdb I converted the atomic structure to CG
structure using awk script...something like this

awk -f atom2cg.awk 1K4C_clean.pdb > 1K4C_cleanCG.pdb

Here you create 1K4C_cleanCG.pdb

3) Then I got the sequence of 1K4C_clean.pdb using vmd and saved that as
1K4C_clean.txt and with the help of the following command I got the .seq
file...

But below you create your .itp starting from "1K4C_clean", which at least means you haven't copied your correct grep line, and might indicate the mismatch between your structure and topology.

grep -A 1 1K4C_clean 1K4C_clean.txt > 1K4C_clean.seq

4) Then using dssp I got the .ssd file for 1K4C_clean.pdb....

dsspcmbi 1K4C_clean.pdb 1K4C_clean.dssp
dssp2ssd.py 1K4C_clean.dssp -o 1K4C_clean.ssd

5) After preparing the secondary structure files I generated the MARTINI
topology files like this :

seq2itp.pl 1K4C_clean.seq 1K4C_clean.ssd > 1K4C_clean.itp

6) The next step is to make the topology file and I made like this.....

; Include Martini Topology
#include "martini_v2.1.itp"

; Include protein topology
#include "1K4C_clean.itp"


[ system ]
; Name
Membrane Protein

[ molecules ]
; compound       #mols
Protein            1

7) Then I made the .gro file using genbox.....

genbox -cp 1K4C_cleanCG.pdb -box 10 10 10 -o 1K4C_cleanCG.gro

(In the previous email as you said that I need to make the .gro file of CG
structure of protein so I used 1K4C_cleanCG.pdb)

A .gro file is almost never essential. A structure file with a suitable periodic box can be.

8) Now I want to minimize the system.....

grompp -f em.mdp -c 1K4C_cleanCG.gro -p 1K4C_clean.top -maxwarn 10

and then error comes...........

I don't know where I have done the mistake...your help will be highly
appreciable in this case.

Here you've got a 7-atom difference, and...

           Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.5
           Source code file: grompp.c, line: 362

           -------------------------------------------------------

...here you're different by 39 atoms. That indicates a procedure that differed by more than just not adding solvent.

With a complex multi-step system preparation, you are much better served by writing the steps down in a shell script so that you really do things the same way every time. Science is still science, even on a computer, and your work must be reproducible. Moreover, then when you ask for help, you're not presenting contradictions and non sequiturs that frustrate attempts to help you :-)

In any case, my earlier advice still applies - it should be a matter of 10 minutes work to compare your clean .itp and .gro to see what atoms are causing the problem. Then, work backwards.
