[gmx-users] High pressure variation during NPT equilibration of Protein-ligand system.

Dear Experts,

I am performing a protein-ligand stimulation in gromacs 2018. The
pressure value showed wild variation between -800 to 500 bar and
showed an average pressure value of -139 bar. The reference is 1 bar.
I have used the "lysozyme in water" simulation tutorial by Justin A.
Lemkul as a reference. The tutorial mentioned that 7.5 (+- 160) bar
was reasonable for the system. I'm not sure if the value I am getting
in my simulation results (-139 bar variation in pressure) are
reasonable. Kindly advise. How do i justify this ?

References and suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,
Seketoulie
