Thanks for your help, I checked the perl script (amb2gmx.pl) it should work for a solvated protein. The solvend and box are converted to gromacs but the box information is not converted as it should, amber only defines d and 3 angels (+information in the topology that it deals with a truncated octahedron), while gromacs needs 3 vectors to defines a truncated octahedron and this information is only in the .gro file not in the topology. The amb2gmx.pl script only copies tree values to the .gro file for an truncated octahedron so gromacs thinks it is a cubic box. Normally the ensembles are both NTP, I can hardly believe that differnces in algoritm would cause a "Constraint error in algorithm Lincs at step 0" and make the simulation crash.

Well, possibly not *if* the only material difference was the implementation of fixed-pressure, but as we've discussed, you've probably got several material differences in the algorithms that shift your equilibrium ensemble. Still, if your box was that wrong, then there's no surprise about a LINCS error.

But I agree that this procedure is not the way to go for a good simulation, the only intention of this was doing a speed comparision.

Still gotta compare apples with apples, unless you're trying for a pre-determined conclusion :-)
