But the Fe4s4 cluster atoms are showing large rms and rotating hugely in 
position restraining step and Linc warnings are comming.
In some published papers it is mentioned that during the molecular 
dynamics simulations, the proteins' heavy atoms and the counter ions 
were harmonically restrained to their initial positions of pdb, How can 
I do this for my fe4s4 cluster. What keywords should I use for that  and 
in which step I can do?


That's what position restraints are doing.

Watch the trajectory, and see if you can find where things are going wrong.  If 
the crash is happening reasonably early, you can set nstxout = 1 to get a 
bunch of frames right before the crash.  Perhaps there are some atomic clashes 
that are still unresolved after EM.  The Fmax you achieved before is indeed 
quite high.  Have a look around atom 820 and see where the clash might be.


Another possibility for the instability of your system is of course 
inappropriate parameters in the topology.  How have you parameterized the Fe4S4 
cluster?  MM force fields generally fail spectacularly for such transition metal 
species, especially with the quantum effects (charge transfer, etc) present in 
such systems.  Have you seen the following?

If EM worked nicely, then something else you are doing is incorrect.

  the atoms 5437,5438,5439 are the FE atoms of the Fe4S4 cluster. these

  Please suggest how to tackle the FE atoms during simulation run ? 
Without the metal cluster, the same protein is working fine under 
simulation and there is no such linc warinings?

That's what position restraints are doing.


I should amend this slightly.  I assumed your Fe4S4 cluster was simply part of 
your protein, which is restrained with posre.itp, generated by pdb2gmx.  If this 
is not the case, you will have to use genrestr to generate a position restraint 
file for the Fe4S4 cluster, if it is indeed a separate molecule type.


I doubt that restraining the Fe4S4 cluster will fix anything.  Please see my 
last message - there are clashes in your system or inappropriate parameters at 
play.  If you restrain the atoms, you may be just delaying the inevitable crash.
