Hello,
I am trying to minimize my ligand-protein structures but when I run the
code,
mdrun -v deffnm em.tpr
i am getting the error:
Program mdrun, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file: /build/buildd/gromacs-4.5.5/src/gmxlib/gmxfio.c, line: 519
Can not open file:
topol.tpr

Any one with any solution to get through this.
Your command is incorrect for two reasons.
1. The option (like all Gromacs options) needs to be preceded by a hyphen, i.e.
-deffnm, not deffnm. mdrun is the only Gromacs tool that does not check the
validity of the options passed to it. Thus, "deffnm em.tpr" is completely
ignored and mdrun falls back on its default file name for -s, topol.tpr, which
does not exist.
2. Had you used -deffnm, mdrun would have also failed, because it would go
looking for a file named "em.tpr.tpr." The string passed to -deffnm is just the
prefix of the files, because it is applied to all files (input and output).
Thus, the correct command is:
mdrun -v -deffnm em
