Dear Berk,

I have run it for 5ns, as you said for first  1ns i have not seen much drift
in the energy there after energy is slowly increasing in each step. Should i
run it again and send you the edr file? can you please let me know on which
version of gromacs you have run this file?

Thanks very much
Srinivas.
