Hi Justin,
I tried the genpr for generating the posre.itp, but it is taking only a
single residue while I want to restrict a number of residue for the mdrun.
Please suggest me the way out.

Procedure followed:
....generated gro using pdb2gmx
....generated box using editconf
....add water using genbox
....make pr.index file for the residues I want to restrict for MDS (for say
10 residues)
....tried genpr command to generate the posre.itp using pr.index generated
above.
In th elast step it is generating the posre.itp for a single residue and not
allowing to include more residues..
as r_26 in following response..while I want to select all of r_27,28 and 29


Select group to position restrain
Group     0 (      System) has 23342 elements
Group     1 (     Protein) has  2626 elements
Group     2 (   Protein-H) has  2073 elements
Group     3 (     C-alpha) has   269 elements
Group     4 (    Backbone) has   807 elements
Group     5 (   MainChain) has  1077 elements
Group     6 (MainChain+Cb) has  1329 elements
Group     7 ( MainChain+H) has  1342 elements
Group     8 (   SideChain) has  1284 elements
Group     9 ( SideChain-H) has   996 elements
Group    10 ( Prot-Masses) has  2626 elements
Group    11 ( Non-Protein) has 20716 elements
Group    12 (         NDP) has    61 elements
Group    13 (         SOL) has 20655 elements
Group    14 (       Other) has 20716 elements
Group    15 (        r_25) has     5 elements
Group    16 (        r_26) has     9 elements
Group    17 (        r_27) has     5 elements
Group    18 (        r_28) has    17 elements
Group    19 (        r_29) has    10 elements
Select a group: pr
Error: Multiple groups 'pr' selected
Error: No such group 'pr'
Select a group: 16
Selected 16: 'r_26'

Back Off! I just backed up posre.itp to ./#posre.itp.3#
