Dear Gmx Users,

I am fighting with the position restraints. My system cosnsists of 6 ligands -
all of them have the same topology - ligand.itp. I want to:

1. Run NPT restraining all of ligands (easy: -DPOSRES_L, ifdef POSRE_L, posre
ligand1.itp
2. Restrain 5 of them and pull one of them away.

Here I came across some difficulties.

I used genrestr -f 6ligands.gro -n index.ndx -o posre1.itp

and by index files I create an index of the ligands I wan to restrain. Each my
ligands has 46 atoms. When I process to grompp:

Atom index (256) in position_restraints out of bounds (1-46).
This probably means that you have inserted topology section "position_restraints

Shall I rename Ligands as different residue names? If my posre includes 1-46
atom all ligands are restraints? How to restrain just 5 out of 6 of them?


Position restraints are applied on a per-moleculetype basis. If you have six copies of a ligand, the only way to do this is to define the sixth as a special [moleculetype] (even if it contains identical information) with a different name, such that it can be restrained in the absence of restraints on the others. See the logic here:
