GROMACS version:2020.3  
GROMACS modification: No  
I did a docking experiments with protein inhibitors and they mutants with some enzymes, and I got very nice results. Now I like to use MD to check stability theses complexes.  
Please can anyone help, I need guide line or tutorial for the case.  
Thank’s  
Ricardo

`pdb2gmx` handles multiple protein chains natively, as long as each protein is assigned its own chain identifier or is separated by TER. The simulations are functionally no different from a single protein.

Dear Jalemkul, I hope you are fine and salve !!  
I want to check if the installation are ok, them I use a file from my docking experiments, done by rosetta programs.  
I use lysozyme tutorial with my file and I get:

NOTE 1 [file ions.mdp]:  
With Verlet lists the optimal nstlist is \>= 10, with GPUs \>= 20. Note  
that with the Verlet scheme, nstlist has no effect on the accuracy of  
your simulation.

for discussion on how close it should be to an integer.

NOTE 3 [file ions.mdp]:  
You are using a plain Coulomb cut-off, which might produce artifacts.  
You might want to consider using PME electrostatics.  
This run will generate roughly 3 Mb of data  
There were 3 notes  
I try to continue but I have another problems.  
Please can you help me  
Thank’s

All of that is normal output. Notes are informational. Warnings and errors are problems.

What am I looking for? The value of Fmax appears a bit high so you should investigate contacts around the atom indicated in the `.log` file.

Hi, jalemkul.  
from last time, I change the version of gromacs, I installed the last one ( 2020.4 ).  
I use command " make check " it’s 100% ok.  
I did the lysozyme tutorial and ok too.  
Please see the log and md files attached to this message.  
What am I looking for ?  
I try use simulation and MD, to verify or study my docking complex samples,  
My sample is complex from docking experiment between protein inhibitor and serine-protease. The contact region understands: residues 28 - 31 for inhibitor and 57, 102, 192,193 and 195 for enzyme.  
I also use the umbrella tutorial, but I do not known how to analyses the results, please I need some idea.  
All the best
