>
> Hi
> I used Gromacs version 3.3.3.
> My simulation system = one protein + 20 ligand + water molecules ( 7x 7x 7
> )
> MPI setting => #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=4,arch=x86_64   => 16 nodes in total
> After doing the energy minimization, => the potential energy is extremely
> high ( say, ten to the 9th order )
> I visualized the " Simulation-System-EM-solvated.gro " after the energy
> minimization.
> Then, I found that the Simulation Sysmtem is devided into 16 domains very
> clearly and the molecules (protein, ligand, and water) break into atoms in
> the boundaries.
> I have checked that the 20 ligands are not overlapped each other and are
> not
> overlapped with protein from the beginning.

>
> More, i have created 10 alike system and each is with "one protein + 20
> ligand + water molecules"
> Two of them get the "minus potential energy" after energy minimization and
> I
> can continue running the MD simulation successfully.
> Others of them get the "extreme high positive potential energy" and the
> system is devided into 16 domains after energy minimization and the
> simulation broke afterall.

> With one protein + 10 ligand + water molecules, ( 6 x 6 x 6 )
> There is no problems like that.

> Please give me your ideas to solve the problem.
