Hi Justin,

Thanks for the reply.

Once again i tried to minimize the protein +ligand in vacuum. Also tried by varying the maximum force constant. But that too converged at the 15 th step (or lesser steps based on the Fmax). The em.mdp file i have attached here with. Please go through that once please and tell me because of any of these parameters, the system behaves odd??.

I think you are correct that the itp file created by PRODRG need corrections. But how can I chek that is that the problem with that file or how can i rectify?

What is most important is not the number of steps necessarily, but that the 
potential energy converged to an appropriate value and you reached an Fmax below 
your target.

Realize that using a topology straight from PRODRG is often not the best course. 
  The charges and charge groups assigned by PRODRG often require manual 
modification and verification of the parameters.  This could be a source of problem.

It may be that there is some kind of bug, but before that can be proposed, you 
have to demonstrate that the preparation steps were successful (i.e., EM 
criteria of potential energy and Fmax).
