[gmx-users] energy minimization problem

Actual text input / output would be a good idea here.  What is the actual output when you try to run it the second time?

Subject: [gmx-users] energy minimization problem

 

Hi ,
I have a protein with 2 chains. I need to do normal mode analysis on it. As there are no 
covalent bonds between the two chains, I did not use the "merge" option in the "pdb2gmx" 
command. 
I am trying to energy minimize the structure , in vaccum.( in double precision) , but am not 
able to get the Fmax below e-02. i have tried using the "l-bgs" minimization technique. 
The lbfgs.mdp file is as follows
define = -DFLEXIBLE
constraints = none
integrator = l-bfgs
tinit = 0
nsteps = 10000
nbfgscorr = 10
emtol = .001
emstep = 0.5
gen_vel = no
gen-temp = 300
nstcomm = 1
ns_type = grid
rlist = 1.2
rcoulomb = 1.2
rvdw = 1.0
Tcoupl = no
Pcoupl = no
coulombtype = PME
vdwtype = shift

The minimization continues up to the specified no. of steps. When I try to give another 
minimization run on the minimized structure, the Fmax goes upto the order "e+00".

I am not being able to figure out the problem. 
Any suggestion regarding this will be very helpful. 
Thanks in advance
Sarbani.
