[gmx-users] number of coordinates in coordinate file (system_inflated.gro, 9331) number of coordinates in coordinate file does not match topology

[Parul tew]

Hi all,
first I would like to thank Justin A. Lemkul for the tutorials
provided which are very helpful for new users like me.
I am doing a membrane protein simulation and now doing packing of the
lipids around the protein. I had run the inflategro.pl script and
and now I am facing a problem doing energy minimization of my inflated
system (contatining protein and the lipid membrane) using grompp.
I have updated my topology file accordingly ie removed the spc.itp,
ions.itp it now only contains protein and dppc
the protein is of 3881 atoms but after updating my topolgy it still
gives the following error:
Fatal error:
number of coordinates in coordinate file (system_inflated.gro, 9331)
             does not match topology (topol.top, 10281)
As i understand it could be because of the deleted lipids of the
system, if so how can I know the deleted number of lipids.

My topology file looks like
