Hi Stephane,

If you could now send post your shoe size, your length and weight, and
pictures of worthwhile sisters if you have any, we might be able to
reinforce the incentive to help you :p

I didn't imply you were a beginner (other maybe than a beginner with
Gromacs, as you indicate yourself). I just noted that setting up HIVP
shouldn't lead to so much trouble. Now, Erik is of course right
regarding the temperatures and also with the suggestion to use
position restraints. I would like to add to that, that in most cases
it is common to perform an energy minimization in vacuum first. I
think that most of us use something like:

1. pdb2gmx
2. EM in vacuum
3. editconf/genbox/genion
4. EM in solvent (NVT)
5. EM in solvent (NPT)
6. Position Restraint MD
7. Production run

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
