Dear all,

Recently, I want to add angle_restraints and dihedral_restraints for atoms in two separate molecules, that is, inter-molecular restraints, not intra-molecular restraints.

I add the following into my .top file:
[ angle_restraints ]
; i   j    k    l    type   theta0     fc     multiplicity
 20  22   47   50    1      0.0       1500         1

[ dihedral_restraints ]
;   i    j     k    l    type label phi dphi kfac power
   25   28    51   52     1      1 180     0     1      2

But it give errors:
"Fatal error:
[ file ang_res.itp, line 5 ]:
Atom index (47) in angle_restraints out of bounds (1-24).
This probably means that you have inserted topology section "angle_restraints"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to."

Atom 20/22 belongs to one molecule, and Atom 47/50 belongs to another molecule. The same situation is for atom 25/28 and atom 51/52.

I guess this error comes from the fact that I have two separate molecules in my simulation system, thus topol_Protein.itp and topol_Protein2.itp are produced when using pdb2gmx. Atom 47 in .gro file has atom number 17 in topol_Protein2.itp. Thus it gives the error that Atom index (47) in angle_restraints out of bounds!

Additionally, [ angle_restraints] and [dihedral_restraints] seems for the intra-molecular interaction definitions.

Would you please tell me how to add angle and dihedral restraints for the atoms that belong to two different molecules?

Thank you very much!

Best wishes!
