In GROMACS, while converting pdb file (monomer or multimer) into .gro file, it do not preserve the chain ID information. Due to the lack of chain ID information, pdb file retrieved from .gro file at any stage of the simulation has missing chain IDs and pdb file can not be visualized properly in PYMOL / RASMOL.
There are two ways to convert .gro file into .pdb
Lets say your protein name is xyz.pdb
1] gmx editconf -f xyz.gro -o xyz.pdb
2] gmx trjconv -f xyz.gro -o xyz.pdb -s xyz.tpr
If you have monomer protein and wish to assign any chain ID then following command will be of your interest:
gmx editconf -f xyz.gro -o xyz.pdb -label [chain-ID]
