[gmx-users] Problem with multiple Urea molecule position restraining.

[karan syal]

Dear All,

I am trying to do equilibration of 8M urea in gromacs 4.0 in a 3nm cubic
box. I created posre.itp from genpr selecting only UREA atoms to be
restrainted ( em.gro was used to generate this posre.itp)

*The error message is given below :*

 grompp -f pr.mdp -c em3.gro -p sys.top -o pr.tpr

Fatal error:
[ file posre.itp, line 13 ]:
Atom index (9) in position_restraints out of bounds (1-8).
This probably means that you have inserted topology section
"position_restraints"
in a part belonging to a different molecule than you intended to.
In that case move the "position_restraints" section to the right molecule.

*My top file is : *

;       This is your topology file
;       UREA in Water t=   0.00000
;
; Include forcefield parameters
#include "ffG43a1.itp"

#include "spc.itp"
#include "urea.itp"

; Include Position restraint file
#ifdef POSRES
#include "posre.itp"
#endif




[ system ]
; Name
UREA in Water

[ molecules ]
; Compound        #mols
UREA               130
SOL               1149



I *guess* the error is because position restraints for all the 130 urea
molecules is not working but only for the first molecule of UREA.  ( Hence
out of bounds after 1-8.)

Can anyone please suggest a way out of this problem? i want to position
restrain all the urea molecules.

Thank you all for time,

Regards,
Karan
