Hi,
I have a protein simulation in which all residues simulate correctly with the exception of five in a loop. These five out of 360 are in a loop (or bend) separate from my area of interest. Thus, I would like to treat them as a rigid sequence. Using the position restraints in the posre.itp file does not help me. I am looking for a script that I can write into my mdp files that restricts all simulation in these five residues. Can anyone help me with this little issue? Thank you.

You can use freezegrps to completely prevent any changes to the coordinates. Whether or not this makes any physical sense or will have any artifactual influence on the rest of your protein is up to you to decide. Note that (if I recall correctly), you cannot use an NPT ensemble when applying freezegrps due to the coordinate scaling intrinsic to the barostat algorithms.
