Hi Justin i see lots of papers perform steepest descent followed by conjugated
gradients.

My question do i use the .gro output file as input to perform conjugated
gradient minimization as shown in the commands below? or do i repeat pdb2gmx,
editconf and genbox on the trajectory file (protA_em.trr) which i must convert
to a .pdb file?


There is absolutely no need to reconstruct the entire system, otherwise what was the purpose of the first EM? There are no fixed requirements for file formats; Gromacs can handle just about anything. Use whatever you want.

nohup mdrun -s protA_em.tpr -o protA_em.trr -c *protA_b4pr.gro* -g em.log -e
em.edr &
Steepest Descents:
    Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+03
    Number of steps    =         1000

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to Fmax < 1000 in 754 steps
Potential Energy  = -6.8864319e+05
Maximum force     =  9.1053461e+02 on atom 499
Norm of force     =  2.2879843e+01


Now i run conjugated gradient (500 steps)
grompp -f em2.mdp -c *protA_b4pr.gro* -p Rv1712.top -o protA_1em.tpr

nohup mdrun -s protA_1em.tpr -o protA_em1.trr -c protA_b4pr_1.gro -g em.log -e
em.edr &

when i run these i get an error message segmentation fault? which i know is
usually a memory problem.


I have no idea why that would happen. The EM from steepest descents seems perfectly reasonable. The seg fault could come from instability within the system, but without a complete .mdp file there is no point in guessing.
