Dear Justin,

No.

I am still preparing the system. I want the protein in the solvent sphere.



I see now. You're setting a 12-nm cubic box, but then using a shell of 6 nm, which causes neighbor searching to occur throughout the entire box. The maximum value of -shell must be less than 1/2 the shortest box vector, so either set up a larger box, or a smaller value of -shell.

        Hello,

        Thanks Justin, I am getting somewhere but still running into
        problems.

            Okay, I have a 6 nm sphere (one Li ion surrounded by 1:1
        water-methanol mixture) in 12 nm box.
             I did the following:
        editconf -f 1li.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o onlyli.gro
        genbox -cp onlyli.gro -cs mix.gro   -shell 6 -o li_sol.gro


           Then, used genbox -cp protein.gro -cs sphere.gro
        with only 1 molecule of histidine I get the same error as with
        polyhistidine ( 20 )

        Fatal error:
        One of the box vectors has become shorter than twice the cut-off
        length or box_yy-|box_zy| or box_zz has become smaller than the
        cut-off.


    I presume this is from mdrun?  Your system is collapsing.  Without
    an .mdp file, it is not possible to diagnose anything.

        How can I resolve this?

        help needed.

        Thanks,
        SN

               Hi Justin and other gmx-users,

               I want to make a sphere around a protein (5nm).with Li
        ions and
               anions.

               Justin, as you had suggested to use genbox -shell option, I
               tried using it but i realized that since my protein is a long
               tube like structure, the shell option generated a cyclinder
               around the protein.

               The solvent around the protein is 1:1 water-methanol
               (pre-prepared mixture n a gro file)

               If I try to start with a ion and solvate it with my
        solvent (1:1
               water methanol) using -shell option, I do get a sphere
        but then
               I am unable to insert the protein in the system.


           And why not?

           genbox -cp protein.gro -cs sphere.gro

           should do exactly what you want, provided the sphere is large
        enough
           for the protein.

           -Justin


               Is there another feasible route to get to my desired
               configuration of the system ?

               Thanks in advance


               Best,
               SN
