[gmx-users] LINCS vs SHAKE

Yes, I understand that. But then this is a protein in water simulation with
CHarmm forcefield and I cannot find a reason as to why does this happen(esp
after variable number of steps)? I have checked the .pdb files generated for
the steps where Lincs fails and it seems that H atoms for atleast 1
sidechain are in incorrect positions(usually clashing). There doesn't seem
to be a good way of analyzing this error. If you have any suggestions I
would be eager to try them.
