Dear gmx-users,
I'd like to perform a molecular dynamics simulation on a protein-ligand complex, in such a way that only residues belonging to the active site can move, whereas the rest of the protein is kept fixed. I searched for some information about how to do it with GROMACS, but I didn't find anything. Could anybody give me some suggestions about this subject, please?

You could create a custom posre.itp (using genrestr) to restrain whatever atoms you choose, but it won't speed up your calculations in any way, if that's what you're after. You could also specify freezegrps in the .mdp file, which requires a custom index group; it may be more difficult to use this setup based on the types of exclusions that would be necessary within whatever is frozen.

Many thanks in advance and regards.
Anna
