[gmx-users] Error with equilibration of DPPC membrane with protein

[Edvin Erdtman]

Hi

We have tried with no cutoff, as I have written in former emails, but 
that was when we got trouble with LINCS warnings. We then thought that 
we could try to continue remove lipids in the compression-steps to get 
rid of that LINCS warnings, and to have a stable system!
Is it maybe the protein that is the problem - need to be more minimized?
