[gmx-users] Editing of the existing system

[James Starlight]

By the way

Today I've examined in vacuum minimisation outputs more carefully (
watching in vmd trr ) and found that conformation of the loops in the
docked regions were changed after long CG minimisation.

Then I've resolvate my system and add ions and run STEEP minimisation of
that system.

After this I've decreasing integration step to the from 0.001 to 0.0001.

Unfortunatelly the error was the same

starting with the LINK warnings like

Step 0, time 0 (ps)  LINCS WARNING
relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
rms 0.002089, max 0.082711 (between atoms 1387 and 1388)
bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
 atom 1 atom 2  angle  previous, current, constraint length


and ending with the exploiding of my system as well with the eror like

step 29: Water molecule starting at atom 42310 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate.
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates


Also I've changed COM groups ( to the System value in one case as well as
placing the second protein group to the common group with the first protein
and membrane in the second case ). But the result was the same.


Is there any  suggestions or should I start with another conformation of
first protein ?
