dear Justin,

The link of 
(http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors#Number_of_coordinates_in_coordinate_file_does_not_match_topology)
helped but still I have problem.

There are 35344SOL molecules in my _solv.gro file. the last atom is N2
72342. The last part of my topol.top file is:
[molecules]
; compound               #mols
Protein_A                         1
Protein_B                         1
Protein_C                         1
Protein_D                         1
SOL                          27363
NA+                                 0

Then typing grompp commands gives:
number of coordinates in coordinate file (a_solv.gro, 72342) does not
match (topol.top, 72341)

I guess that the topol.top is based on water not matching nitrogen
that is why I can't balance the numbers.

I also tried to run again from the begining on my case protein. this
time I manipulated the topol file with these numbers:
[molecules]
; compound               #mols
Protein_A                         1
SOL                          24044
NA+                                 1

It started operating but:
note: System has non-zero total charge: -1.000000e+00 (which is quite logical)
warning: atom name 210 in topol.top and a_solv.gro does not match (OW- N)
......
WARNING 1 [file topol.top, line 37]: 72133 non matching atom names
atom names from topol.top will be used
atom names from a_solv.gro will be ignored

Does it mean that it will replace the nitrogen solvent with water
molecules? What should I do this time? Thanks.


If I were you, I'd start over. Here's why - you've somehow manipulated water coordinates and/or topologies to try to make them into nitrogen. Based on the atom naming, it suggests you haven't been very careful in either replacing the names, parameters, or both, so you'll end up with a nonsense simulation.

The root of the problem is that you have not properly accounted for the actual number of "solvent" molecules you've placed in the system. Assuming you've taken some protein coordinates and used genbox to immerse this structure in nitrogen. The problem here is that genbox understands that "SOL" means water - it is hard-coded to do so. So there may be a problem there. The solution is to use a meaningful name for the nitrogen [moleculetype] (something intuitive and distinct like "N2") and correct your topology accordingly.

Without seeing the actual contents of the topologies and all of your commands verbatim, there is no way to truly diagnose how you have one stray atom, or even if anything in the topology truly applies to your system.
