Sir,
Thank you for the reply. As per the suggestion, I tried increasing the
rlist. Note or warning stopped when rlist was increased to 1.8. Also with
this value of rcoulomb, the box size also needs to be increased. I would
like to know whether it is fine to keep rlist 1.8 and also whether there is
any other alternative rather than increasing rlist since increase in rlist
requires an increase in box size.

I would investigate why you have such large charge groups. For a protein in water (which is what you appear to have based on the .mdp file), you should not have such large charge groups. Haphazardly adjusting cutoffs can have a negative effect on the simulation. Increasing rlist may result in poorer performance. Why are you using a switching potential for van der Waals interactions? Exact specifications for OPLS are hard to come by in the literature, but most commonly one sees:

rvdw = 1.0
vdwtype = cutoff
rlist = 1.0
rcoulomb = 1.0
coulombtype = PME

Thank you,

I am tyring to do a simulation of a monomer and an octamer of the same

Can anybody please help me on how to go about with it?


1) Increase RLIST
2) Re-distribute atoms among charge groups so that to make charge
groups [spatially] smaller.
