Hi Justin, Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate the gromacs_user folrun help line.
I see! thats why you are not receiving any attachment! My goal is to compute only GB-energy. I have computed only GB- energy using Amber and Other packages. Now I am using Gromacs to do the same. As suggested by Mark, I am usually deleting all the bonded terms for the topol.top file and also setting the non-bonded parameter values to zero in the ffnonbonded.itp file, so that other computations do not occur and the timing I get only reports that of GB- Energy. I have done this for different 168 protein molecules and Gromacs is performing really well and the energy values are comparable with amber and Octree based approach. However, for CMV, I am getting an energy value which is almost half of others. So, to check, now I am not excluding any bonded terms and using the original force field files provided in gromacs/share/top folder. Still the value for GB-energy is the same as before :-(. Here is the log file content (without any modification in .top file and without the mdrun-rerun command).
