[gmx-users] Water atoms cannot be settled

[Ms. Aswathy S]

Thank you for your quick response. I am trying all these possibilities.

Can you please make me one thing clear, In certain   papers and tutorials it is seen that , for production run they are using either NPT or NVT. Which one should i try for my protein ligand complex.(Right now I did NVT condition) attaching the mdp file.

Thanks & Regards,

You can try removing your position restraints before you change the 
ensemble to NPT. Also you should inspect the trajectory visually to see 
whether you can deduce what the problem is from its symptoms. Further, 
look to see how much your box size is changing when you switch to NPT. 
You'd prefer it didn't change a great deal - and if it does, 
equilibrating longer is likely to be needed.
