[gmx-users] Error in MD

[Dhananjay joshi]

Hello Mark,

I have again started working on CORE_MTB.pdb

The first step that I took was 

1. pdb2gmx -f CORE_MTB.pdb -o CORE_MTB.gro -p CORE_MTB.top


It has generated fatal error as follows

Fatal error:
Atom HD1 in residue HISB 61 not found in rtp entry with 12 atoms
             while sorting atoms. Maybe different protonation state.
             Remove this hydrogen or choose a different protonation state.
             Option -ignh will ignore all hydrogens in the input.

Then I used -ignh option and the steps are as follows..


2. editconf -f CORE_MTB.gro -o CORE_MTB.gro -d 0.8

WARNING: No boxtype specified - distance condition applied in each dimension.
If the molecule rotates the actual distance will be smaller. You might want
to use a cubic box instead, or why not try a dodecahedron today?

3. genbox -cp CORE_MTB.gro -cs -o CORE_MTB_b4em.gro -p CORE_MTB.top

4.grompp -f em.mdp -po em_out.mdp -c CORE_MTB_b4em.gro -p CORE_MTB.top -o CORE_MTB_em.tpr


5.mdrun -s CORE_MTB_em.tpr -o CORE_MTB_em.trr -c CORE_MTB_b4pr.gro -e em.edr -g em.log

After this I got some message with output as follows

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 2000.
Potential Energy  =  2.1868101e+17
Maximum force     =            inf on atom 28916
Norm of force     =            nan

Could you please tell me what is wrong ?

The mdp file used for grompp amd mdrun is as follows..
