Hi, Mark,

I got the same error.

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.2
Source code file: grompp.c, line: 150

Fatal error:
atoms 1 and 2 in charge group 1 of molecule type 'Protein_A' are in
different energy groups
-------------------------------------------------------


Now I see it. This error is coming up because the atoms are bonded together. Atoms 1 and 2 are N and H of the N-terminus, right? Actually, Mark explained this one some time ago:

http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-January/031725.html

Also, the cut-off's you've chosen (and using cut-off for electrostatics) are likely to lead to artifacts. Interestingly, this is the third time in as many days as I have seen bizarre values of rlist, rcoulomb, and rvdw in conjunction with Gromos96...

I think you still don't need two invocations of pdb2gmx. Your only constraint 
is that you want chain IDs preserved for your make_ndx command. The PDB format 
carries the system size just like the GRO format. Thus

+ pdb2gmx -ignh -ff G53a6 -f b.pdb -p a6.top -i a6.posre.itp -o a6.pdb
+ editconf -f a6.pdb -o a6.gro -d 20.0
+ make_ndx -f a6.pdb -o a6.ndx

+ grompp -maxwarn 10 -f em.mdp -c a6.gro -n a6.ndx -p a6.top -o a6.input.tpr

Simpler still is to define your index groups using information other than the 
chain ID - as I think someone suggested days ago. Ranges of atom numbers are 
also effective.

   There is still some sort of disconnect between topology numbering
   (which is where charge groups are defined), and the structure you
   are using.  Can you post the first *few* lines of your .pdb file, [
   atoms ] section of the .top, and the relevant index groups?

Not necessarily - the assignment of energy groups in the .mdp file is still a 
potential source of problems.

Mark
