 Thank you for replyActually, since i am a new gromacs user, i used all .mdp files ( em.mdp, nvt.mdp,...) in protein-ligand complex ( lysosym 4 ) tuturial in gromacs. And did all the steps and issued all commands that said in this tuturial . I also generated my ligand topology by PRODRG and edited the charges and charge groups . To edit atome charge, according to aminoacids.rtp file, i considered what my atomes are bonded to , in order to best give their charge. Then , regarding to the article : Practical considerations for building GROMOS-compatible small-molecule topologiesEditted the charge groups , but i think , maybe i was wrong in specifying charg groups. In addition, i noticed that there was a wrong bond in the gromacs topology ang gromacs cordinate files, so i corrected them but i dont know if i did right?  These are all that i did. I dont know more about generating ligand topology but informatin that said in this tuturial. If you let me, send my ligand topology file to you? 
With best regardsFarial

None of those are relevant.

Your protein in water works, but when you add the ligand it doesn't.  There's 
your problem.  The ligand minimizing in vacuo just means there's nothing 
catastrophically wrong with its topology, but it doesn't mean that topology is 
actually of suitable quality for an MD simulation.  How did you generate its 
parameters and in what ways did you validate it before trying to use it?
