[gmx-users] MARTINI simulation of protein-protein recognition

btw I have tried to insert second molecular using just genbox having
both components oriented properly in the space before

g_genbox -cp waterSOLprot.gro -cs MEMBRANEsystem.gro -vdwd 0.21 -o
solvatedNEW.gro -box 18 18 28

than checking VMD solvatedNEW.gro - everything was looks perfect- the
waterSOLprot has been placed in proper position and overlapped CG
water has been removed.

now running gromppt I received

WARNING 1 [file system.top, line 49]:
  2886 non-matching atom names
  atom names from system.top will be used
  atom names from system.gro will be ignored


I also should specify that after genbox I edited new topology.top manually
putting chains of the proteins in correct order (like in new gro file
produced by genbox) and putting correct number of W

assuming that initially I have multi chain protein in the POPC membrane
and using genbox I added to the system one new chain Z

where I did mistake? Does genbox reorent atom order in the -cp
waterSOLprot.gro -cs MEMBRANEsystem.gro ? Could it be fixed?
