Hi, protein have 2 positive chage, I use PRODRG built .gro of CH3C00H, and add two molecular CH3C00H, four molecular NA into system.
At energy minimization step, after steep, when I use cg, Fatal error: DD cell 1 4 0 could only obtain 14 of the 16 atoms that are connected via constraints from the neighboring cells. This probably means your constraint lengths are too long compared to the domain decomposition cell size. Decrease the number of domain decomposition grid cells or lincs-order. I search the ways to sovle it in the GMX forum, there are some similar error exist, I also try as the answers suggest, but I can not fix it. I don't known what the cause. things should go on....I want to do enery minimization more better in order to avoid protein crash during simulation. So, I try another way to do energ minimization. After steep, I use I-bfgs steep .mdp: title = bovin cpp = /usr/bin/cpp define = -DFLEXIBLE constraints = all-bonds integrator = cg dt = 0.002 ; ps ! nsteps = 1000 nstlist = 10 ns_type = grid rlist =
