Hi,

I am facing this issue with the energy minimization. The following is the
output when i try to pack the lipids around the protein:

Steepest Descents:
   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+01
   Number of steps    =        20000
Step=   14, Dmax= 1.2e-06 nm, Epot=  3.37981e+20 Fmax=         inf, atom=
147
Energy minimization has stopped, but the forces havenot converged to the
requested precision Fmax < 10 (whichmay not be possible for your system). It
stoppedbecause the algorithm tried to make a new step whose sizewas too
small, or there was no change in the energy sincelast step. Either way, we
regard the minimization asconverged to within the available machine
precision,given your starting configuration and EM parameters.

i know this is not an error but the potential energy is very high i went
through the mailing list as well but could not get the answer for my
question.

THERE IS AN OVERLAP IN POPC AND LIGAND. WHEN I SELECT MY LIGAND IN PYMOL
simultaneously ONE POPC ATOM ALSO GETS SELECTED and i understand that is
the problem but what should be done to correct this. i tried to reposition
the ligand and copied its coordinates in the last that worked in system.gro
file but again when system_inflated.gro file was generated again there was
an overlap. please tell how to solve this issue. how to correct this
overlap thing. Do i have to number each atom from the start to end in a
flow like instead of popc 1st molecule to be numbered as 1 should i
renumber it to what was the last for proteins.

THANKS in advance...

 Swati.
