Respected Sir, Greetings from Pawan. Before inserting the protein the bilayer was alright as I took the equilibrated bilayer from Dr. Tieleman's website. I have done the position restraint mdrun by restraining the protein only. In this case also the lipids pull apart. Thanking you, Pawan On Mon,

There is nothing wrong with the number of steps and the step size of 2 fs. Can you attach/send the coordinates of your system after position restraint MD ? What about your bilayer before inserting the protein ? Does it move apart during MD ? Definetly you should perform another position restra

Apparently the final mdrun has not worked successfully. It would be interesting to see what the system looks like after the position restraint mdrun. Andreas >>> From: gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org [mailto:gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org] On Behalf Of Pawan Kumar Sent: 06 April 2009 07:47

Hello Justin Sir, Thanks for your reply. I changed the dt value as per the suggestion. But after 200 steps the same kind of warnings came like "pressure scaling more than 1%" and "1-4 interactions" and then it stopped after writing few pdb files. Then I decreased the dt value still lesser (0.

It is a bit difficult to guess what is exactly happening. Your starting structure seem to be the problem, but your topology could also be partly responsible. One easy thing to do is the decrease your time step to 0.0001 which would decrease the chances that your system explodes. Also tr
