Dear Justin and all..

I have been struggled for the pass few weeks...
I follow the KALP-15 in DPPC tutorials but I am using my own protein instead.

I had successfully reached the step INFLATEGRO where 2 lipid removed from the upper layer n 2 lipids removed from the lower layer. Then i updated my topology with deducted 4 number of molecule of lipid.

then I generated the strong_porse.itp using the following command:

genrestr -f 1_newbox.gro -o strong_posre.itp -fc 100000 100000 100000

here is how the strong_posre.itp file look like
[ position_restraints ]
;  i funct       fcx        fcy        fcz
   1    1     100000     100000     100000
   2    1     100000     100000     100000
   3    1     100000     100000     100000
   4    1     100000     100000     100000
   5    1     100000     100000     100000
.....
....
....
...
3483    1     100000     100000     100000
3484    1     100000     100000     100000
3485    1     100000     100000     100000
3486    1     100000     100000     100000

then i updated the topology (as shown below)

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre.itp"
#endif

; Strong position restraints for InflateGRO
#ifdef STRONG_POSRES
#include "strong_posre.itp"
#endif

; Include DPPC chain topology
#include "dppc.itp"

; Include water topology
#include "spc.itp"

; System specifications
[ system ]
128-Lipid DPPC Bilayer
[ molecules ]
; molecule name nr.
DPP            124
SOL           3655




and I also add in the "define" line in the energyminimization.mdp file

here is my em.mdp file
define                   =-DSTRONG_POSRES
integrator             = steep
nsteps                   = 200
constraints            = none
emtol                    = 1000.0
nstcgsteep            = 10 ; do a steep every 10 steps of cg
emstep                 = 0.01 ; used with steep
nstcomm              = 1
coulombtype        = PME
ns_type                = grid
rlist                       = 1.0
rcoulomb              = 1.0
rvdw                     = 1.4
Tcoupl                  = no
Pcoupl                  = no
gen_vel                = no
nstxout                 = 0 ; write coords every # step
optimize_fft          = yes


HOWEVER, I get this error when I proceed to the grompp step.

Fatal error:
Syntax error - File strong_posre.itp, line 3
Last line read:
'[ position_restraints ]'
Invalid order for directive position_restraints

Can anyone guide me in this?
Yr comments and advices are appreciated.


You have several problems:

1. Your [molecules] directive makes no reference to the protein that should be present. 2. Your "strong_posre.itp" file looks like it refers to the whole system; it should have been created from the protein only. You don't want to restrain everything in the system, anyway, and position restraints cannot be applied to a multiple molecule types in a single [position_restraints] directive.
