[gmx-users] problem with freeze-group : Large VCM(Berk Hess)

[jagannath mondal]

Hi Berk,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. According to your
suggestion, I did not remove the cmm  for the WHOLE
molecule ---- i.e I used 'cmm-mode=None'    for the
entire system. (Did you mean that I should have
removed the restriction only for freeze-group or for
whole system?)
  But now I have two problems:
   1) the simulation is now going for longer time but
finally again crashes.
   2) I freezed the mainchain  because I did not want
the mainchain 

move at all and I wanted the only side-chain move. But
, when I am 

visualising the trajectory in VMD, I am finding that
whole molecule is 


tumbling  including the main-chain i.e  the whole
molecule is changing 

its position. As ususal, I did not use pressure
coupling . Do you think  that the movement of whole
molecule is expected during freeze group simulation?
should I  modify something else in my parameter file?
  I am again giving the .mdp file.
