The problem is a mismatch in the contents of the .gro/.xtc and .psf produced by top2psf.pl. Since the script only handles one moleculetype, you can only display and/or read coordinates of that same moleculetype. So, to display properly:

1. Strip only the protein's coordinates from the .xtc and fix PBC suitably (the one you provided me with is not very useful for visualization - the protein is flying all around)

2. Strip the protein's coordinates from your .gro

3. Load the .gro in VMD, then the .psf as data for it, then the protein-only .xtc as data for the .gro.

I followed these steps (aside from proper PBC) and your protein loaded just 
fine.

Thank you for offering help. I know your script is doing it's job, the problem lies with me. for some reason i cannot figure out where i am going wrong. i am attempting to look at a 163 residue, 2 domain protein (hPin1) and this is on of the domains by itself (only 39 residues).

i'm attaching a .gro, .itp, .top, and an .xtc for a short 10ns run. i am definitely a beginner when it comes to both GROMACS and MARTINI. I am trying to get a few molecules toward some production simulations with the MARTINI model. for this domain i have something strange happening around 3ns. the rmsd for the protein nearly freezes to a straight line. i am trying to visually see what is going on in the hopes that that might allow me to figure out what the heck to do next.

i really appreciate your help a lot. i am sort of isolated, lately, from anyone i can discuss anything regarding simulation issues.

best,

john
