[gmx-users] Maximum force on atom and unpacked lipids

[sdshine]

Dear Users,

I have inserted protein and carbohydrate in DPPC membrane according to the
KALP
tutorials. After inserting both molecules, I checked by using VMD, the atoms
around my protein and ligand were overlapped. But I applied position
restraints to protein and ligand and  run 
Inflategro scripts for shrinking and packing.

Perl inflategro result

1 will be removed from the upper leaflet...
2 will be removed from the lower leaflet...

Done!

1st EM result

-------
Step=  576, Dmax= 8.0e-03 nm, Epot= -9.29249e+04 Fmax= 5.95606e+03, atom=
504
Step=  578, Dmax= 4.8e-03 nm, Epot= -9.29638e+04 Fmax= 8.42117e+02, atom=
504

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to Fmax < 1000 in 579 steps
Potential Energy  = -9.2963797e+04
Maximum force     =  8.4211664e+02 on atom 504
Norm of force     =  4.9797871e+01

Then in EM step, showing Maximum force on certain atom.
I performed shrinking step until it converged. But every EM I have Max Force
on selected atom.
The final complex still have unpacked lipids.
How to correct this or whether will be corrected during Equilibration steps.
I think the problem lies in the Ist EM step itself. 
Kindly give some suggestions

Thanks in advance
