[gmx-users] no pr.gro file for energy minimization

[Peter C. Lai]

A question: why do you not have a pr.gro? It should been output by the 
mdrun of pr.tpr?

Anyway, yes you should be able to use -c pr.tpr. However you need to make 
sure to use -t pr.trr or -t pr.cpt to ensure it uses the coordinates and
velocities from the end of the equilibration run. Even if you use -c pr.gro,
it is a good idea to use -t to ensure that it uses the full-precision
coordinates and velocities from the previous run.

The -c .gro/.tpr are at a minimum necessary for grompp to put atom names 
into the new .tpr file that it generates.
