Do you get any output with the crash? Or is it just a segmentation fault?

Subject: [gmx-users] Free energy calculations (FEP) and soft core potential 1-1-48
Dear Gromacs Users,
I am running free energy calculations (FEP) to estimate relative binding
affinities. So far, my results don't match the experimental results (not
even close), so I must be doing something wrong.
My protocol is the following:
- Energy minimisation
- Leap frog minimisation
- 0.1ns NVT
- 2ns Simulated Annealing up to 350K
- 0.1ns NPT
- 1ns MD production run
During the whole equilibration time I am using umbrella pulling to maintain
an interaction between one residue and the ligand (especially important
during SA) but I remove it for MD because I am afraid it would influence my
results (even though I don't know it for sure).
The simulation time for 1ns is quite short of course but I have 'nstdhdl'
put to 10 to get a lot of output.
The other settings are pasted below. So far I was using 1-1-6 for the soft
core potential but because the results were not good, I was thinking to try
1-1-48. However in this case the simulations always crash. Has anybody run
successfully 1-1-48 soft core potentials in Gromacs and how did you chose
your settings? Like me pasted below?
Any other suggestions about what I am doing wrong?
Could I maintain the pull distance constraint during the MD simulation?
Best regards,
Julian
