I have defined position restraints as described in 1UBQ tutorial and simply copied the steps over to my own protein, an IgG.

But after running energy minimization, the protein structure is destroyed.
Is there something that ive missed out or should i be adding more restraints?

Picture of the protein here:

Just curious, do typical gromacs restraint options work in the same way for martini models?
Anything in particular that i should be taking note of or changing to suit a martini model?

Position restraints do not seem to be restraining the backbone properly.

(3D, I guess) positions restraints should fix the coordinates of your proteins to the initial value. They must work with Martini too, so you must be doing something wrong with the command. Please check carefully the Gromacs manual.

Ah that might be the reason. I do not find any position restraint file or portion anywhere. Does the martini script produce posres.itp? Or do i have to manually create it using coordinates of the martini model?

EDIT:
I found a position restraint segment in Protein.itp file.

#ifdef POSRES
#ifndef POSRES_FC
#define POSRES_FC 1000.00
#endif
[ position_restraints ]
1 1 POSRES_FC POSRES_FC POSRES_FC
3 1 POSRES_FC POSRES_FC POSRES_FC
5 1 POSRES_FC POSRES_FC POSRES_FC
... ... ...

This looks different from the typical position restraints of all-atom models, whereby numbers are described in the table.
Is there anything different that i should be doing with martini models?
I have added define = -DPOSRES into .mdp file so im not sure why its not working out.
