In this case,
Can't you just use pdb2gmx to regenerate the topology file from the merged
gro which will resolve the separate moleculechains for you?

Only if you really feel like re-writing the ligand topology from scratch as an .rtp entry to be processed by pdb2gmx, and then attempt to make a merged moleculetype. In short, yes, it's possible to treat a protein-ligand complex as a single entity, but it's probably not worth the effort when it is far simpler to #include a ligand topology and #include a position restraint file for it. This approach also provides considerably more flexibility in terms of restraining the protein and ligand independently, which may be required for various applications.

Dear Friends,
Right now i am working on the docking of a small ligand to a receptor. in order 
to begin md simulations in gromacs, i need to create some files..

I have already docked my ligand to the receptor and i have those files:
   - ligand_receptor.gro
   - posre.itp (for only the receptor !!)


I have 2 Questions:

1- How can i expand the posre.itp file to also include the ligand.data ?


Don't. The position restraints file is intended to be #included from within a 
[moleculetype]. You have two, so you need two position restraint files, each 
#included from a different, appropriate place. The GROMACS tool genrestr can 
help generate that for the ligand.

    that means how can i do to create a posre.itp-file for my 
ligand_receptor-komplex ?


Don't.


2- I have 2 separate top-files: ligand.top (from the prodrg-server) and the receptor.top 
file. How can i "merge" the 2 files and obtain the file ligand_receptor.top for 
the whole ligand-receptor-komplex ?


You need to convert one of your [moleculetype] definitions in one of your .top 
files into an .itp file 
(http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/File_Formats/.itp_File) and #include it 
suitably from the other. See chapter 5 of the manual for details. This is 
tricky, do your homework first. Note that you should take note of the warning 
here: http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Related_Software/PRODRG






Many thanx, please email-me on my adress:

No, that is against accepted netiquette. If your question is worth answering, 
then that answer is worth broadcasting and archiving so others can learn from 
it.
