[gmx-users] strange vdw energy from rerun with GBSA model.

Dear Mark

Could you please help me out? I can send you the trajectory (1000 snapshot
in pdb format), mdp, topol file. I use Gromacs-4.5.3.

I  checked the pdb file in UCSF Chimera and didn't find any crash. I have
about 10 snapshot that has high vdw energy.

best,

dawei
