[gmx-users] Editing of the existing system

Mark,


I've forced with some problems during MDrun of such system with the two
proteins.

Firstly, after addition of second protein, I've removed all water and ions
and solvated my system with genbox and genion.

Than I've redefined groups of my proteins ( wich are like a_1-4000 and
a_4001-5000 ) in index.ndx file in the separate T_coupl, COM and
energygroups because atom order was perturbed after solvation.

Than I've minimized my system  with the Emtool=500

The problems were on the nvt equilibration phase with the posres applied on
the both proteins. I have no errors, notes or warninngs from GROMPP but
when I've started my simulation with MDrun my system was crushed on the 1st
step with the multiple LINKS warnings as well as message that something
wrong with interactions between 1st protein atoms and surrounded water ( as
I've said previously after addition of the second protein to my system I've
resolvated my system again).

Might my system be not properly minimized  or does something wrong else in
addition?
