Thanks. I used the PDB file with H . It works though it's still a mystery for me why PDB file without H couldn't work.

Because the atoms will be numbered wrong. When you use pdb2gmx, hydrogens will be added to some groups (polar groups, aromatics, N-termini, etc). So, starting with chain A, which now has three additional protons on the N, the numbering will be very different from the original pdb file. Check out each .pdb file and your topologies and see for yourself how quickly the numbering differs.

    The problem lies here:


    Including chain 1 in system: 1296 atoms 125 residues
    Including chain 2 in system: 1274 atoms 123 residues
    Including chain 3 in system: 2085 atoms 201 residues

    This suggests that chain 2 (Protein B) should contain numbers up to
    about 2500.

    This is the original .pdb file, then?  The hydrogens will be missing
    from the appropriate groups in the pdb2gmx-processed output
    structures.  You can check the numbering (and pertinent charge
    groups) in the topology for each chain, to be sure.


                      make_ndx -f ${df}.pdb  -o ${file}.ndx >
               ${file}.output.make_ndx
                      << _EOF_
                      del 0-9
                      chain A and B
                      chain C
                      q
                      _EOF_


    This should work, with the right input :)
