If you're after a single-point energy, then a zero-step MD is better than a
one-step EM, which will, by its nature, try to change your coordinates.
The reason (I think) for all the present difficulties is because your
coordinates are unreasonable. Have you looked at "2.pdb" in, i.e. VMD? The
coordinates make no sense, with atoms overlapping each other everywhere. It is
for this reason that mdrun basically fails and writes a bad .edr file.
