This is a user problem, not a development problem.

Hi,
I am trying to anneal two protein molecules.
The usual protocol for a MD simulation was followed.
But the problem arises that at high temperatures, the number of hydrogen
bonds are increasing instead of getting decreased. The GROMOS43a1 force
field was used and the mdp file for the simulation is shown below:

Kindly help me as I am unable to figure out if there is a problem in my
parameters file
