It sounds like you should be doing more tutorials to understand GROMACS 
workflows better. What coordinates you produced are in the .trr or .xtc 
files, but what data is there with what frequency is set up in your .mdp 
file, so you need to plan that in advance. trjconv is the tool for 
manipulating those files, for example to extract frames as PDB to use 
with some other software.

Maybe. Read the docking literature, or do some tutorials there.
