Thank you Vedat!
Why do you use -DFLEXIBLE in md and in em?
Why dont you use constraint algorithm (LINCS) in your simulation?
Otherwise, the system is easily explode with lots of LINCS warning.
A system that is unstable will cause the LINCS algorithm to fail, but turning
off constraints does not prevent a system from becoming unstable or crashing.

Also thanks Vedat for sharing,

hi steven,
i've been simulating a 33 AA peptide for the past two days using implicent
solvent in order to achieve a proper folding.
i haven't added counterions, however, the systems shows nice results
according to what i've expected. the mdrun command (for the extension) for
our hardware looks as follows:
mpiexec -np 4 mdrun -pd -s md.tpr -append -cpi md.cpt -deffnm md 2>&1
and here's the mdp file for the energy minimization:

constraints = none
integrator = steep

coulombtype = cut-off
pbc = no

ns_type = simple
rlist = 0 ; this means all-vs-all (no cut-off), which
gets expensive for bigger systems
rcoulomb = 0
rvdw = 0
comm-mode = angular
comm-grps = Protein
optimize_fft = yes

implicit_solvent = GBSA
gb_algorithm = Still ; HCT ; OBC
nstgbradii = 1
rgbradii = 0 ; [nm] Cut-off for the calculation of the Born
radii. Currently must be equal to rlist
gb_epsilon_solvent = 80 ; Dielectric constant for the implicit
solvent

Dear Gmx Users,
I am using Gromacs 4.5.4 and I would like to implement implicit solvent
for folding of my protein. I read mailing list and it is still confusing for
me.
Is it proper to use counterions within the system? If not, how can I
obtain netral system?
Do we use cut off for vdw and coulombic interactions?
What kind of integrator should be used with a timestep?
I will appreciate an mdp file for protein folding! Thank you
Steven
