Dear Gmx Users,

I would like to run energy minimization with some atoms restrained - this is a
surface made of atoms which do not share any bonds. So the EM of water only. I
tries to use define = -DPOSRES
in my EM file but then the surface atoms change their positions. Thus, when I
want to run NVT equilibration I got errors of water molecules which cannot be
settled so EM is needed. Would you advise something?


Restraints do not guarantee that atoms won't move. They are simply a biasing force that disfavors motion. Either apply a stronger force constant for the restraints or use freezegrps to fix the atomic positions.
