Dear All,

I am doing NVT equilibration for Ethanol of cubic box of side length 6.10346 nm in OPLSAA ff after doing the Energy Minimisation. My system getting blown up when I do NVT equilibration.
Following are the some parameters that I have mentioned in *.mdp files,

100 ps run in 2 fs steps.

cut-off length was 1.0 nm.

Berendsen Thermostat at 298.15 k with 0.1 ps time constant.

lincs constraint for all-bonds.

Those are all normal enough, but smaller timesteps can help during equilibration. Other standard advice here http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up#Diagnosing_an_Unstable_System
