Hi GROMACS users,

i am in the midst of simulating a protein in water. I have modified a residue in my pdb file at position 182, using amber and then acpype.py. But after running the energy minimization step,using em.mdp file generated from acpype , following error comes.

Steepest Descents:
   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+03
   Number of steps    =         5000
Step= 17, Dmax= 1.5e-06 nm, Epot= 9.89827e+17 Fmax= inf, atom= 2700
Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1000

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 18 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy  =  9.8982703e+17
Maximum force     =            inf on atom 2700
Norm of force     =  1.7474532e+19

An infinite force suggests severe atomic overlap. Check the starting structure, paying close attention to atom 2700 and its surrounding environment.
