Hi Chih-Ying,

Like Mark said, start from scratch and trace your steps carefully.
There's nothing special about that lysozyme structure. In fact, the
protocols I use for the tutorials work flawlessly with it! I think
you'd best step through the tutorial again, using 6LYZ.pdb. I know
that at some points the tutorial deviates from what you need/want. In
these cases, make notes of what happens with the tutorial way of doing
it and see how your way of doing deviates from that. I'd say it's best
to change the protocol starting from the end, like changing the .mdp
options first and see whether it still goes. One of the differences
between your protocol and the one in the tutorial is likely to be the
cause of your problem. It's up to you to track it.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
