Hi
In the system, one lysozyme + TIP3P water.

After the two commands,
grompp_mpi -v -f pr.mdp -c 6LYZ-EM-solvated.gro -p 6LYZ.top -o 6LYZ-PR.tpr
mpiexec -np 16 mdrun_mpi -deffnm 6LYZ-PR




pr.mdp, minim.mdp  and the error information is as follows.
nsteps          = 5000          ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps
How to solve the problem?

Thank you
Lin

Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: domdec.c, line: 3651

Fatal error:
A charge group moved too far between two domain decomposition steps
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated

I haven't seen much of this error, but it seems akin to the usual "blowing up" symptoms one gets when a starting structure is poorly-conditioned with respect to its physics. This generates large forces and velocities, and something breaks. Here, some charge group has moved too far.

You need to look carefully at your structures and see what, if anything, looks wrong. If this error occurred after few integration steps (see the .log file) then your starting structure has a problem. Try a vacuum simulation, or solvating differently. Without knowing how you've prepared the system, it's impossible to give concrete advice.
