Dear all and Justin, I have try with the KALP-15 in DPPC tutorials..it was successfully done until Inflategro step.then I tried with my own protein, I still having the same problems, while i wanna do the energy minimization after inflategro.
3 DPPC removed during inflategro...and i updated the number of molecules of DPPC lipid in topology..

here is how the strong_posre.itp file look like
 [ position_restraints ] ; i funct fcx fcy fcz 1 1 100000 100000 100000 2 1 100000 100000 100000 3 1 100000 100000 100000 4 1 100000 100000 100000 5 1 100000 100000 100000 ..... .... ....3483 1 100000 100000 1000003484 1 100000 100000 1000003485 1 100000 100000 1000003486 1 100000 100000 100000
ONLY protein included in the strong_posre.itp file....(this protein has 3486 atoms..)
then again i updated my topology...

; Include forcefield parameters#include "ffG53a6_lipid.itp"

; Include Position restraint file#ifdef POSRES#include "posre.itp"#endif
; Strong position restraints for InflateGRO#ifdef STRONG_POSRES#include "strong_posre.itp"#endif
; Include DPPC chain topology#include "dppc.itp"
; Include chain topologies#include "topol_A.itp"#include "topol_B.itp"
; Include water topology#include "spc.itp"

#ifdef POSRES_WATER; Position restraint for each water oxygen[ position_restraints ];  i funct       fcx        fcy        fcz   1    1       1000       1000       1000#endif
; Include generic topology for ions#include "ions.itp"
[ system ]; Nameprotein in dppc


[ molecules ]; Compound        #molsProtein_A           1Protein_B           1DPPC               125

 and I also add in the "define" line in the energyminimization.mdp file  here is my em.mdp file   define =-DSTRONG_POSRES integrator = steep nsteps = 200 constraints = none emtol = 1000.0 nstcgsteep = 10 ; do a steep every 10 steps of cg emstep = 0.01 ; used with steep nstcomm = 1 coulombtype = PME ns_type = grid rlist = 1.0 rcoulomb = 1.0 rvdw = 1.4 Tcoupl = no Pcoupl = no gen_vel = no nstxout = 0 ; write coords every # step optimize_fft = yes   HOWEVER, I still get this error when I proceed to the grompp step.  Fatal error:Syntax error - File strong_posre.itp, line 3 Last line read: '[ position_restraints ]' Invalid order for directive position_restraints 
as Justin commented, only Protein is selected in strong posre, ( yea..i only selected the protein) Can anyone guide me in this? Yr comments and advices are appreciated.
