My point was I have set the NVT equilibration as 10 ps. But it run only 5.4
ps. when I checked the temperature It was also stabilized at 5.4 ps. That is
why I went ahead with NPT.Can we consider OK, if the equilibration stops
before the time we set??


Absolutely not. If any MD process stops before it is supposed to, that means it crashed.


I am following some literatures, from that i thought first I should
equlibrate the water then  give restraint to water and equilibrate the
protein further. thats why I did in that way???I will check that once again.


Not necessary. In all the recent literature I have seen, position restraints are placed on the protein, while the solvent is free to move. After some time, all restraints are removed and production MD is conducted.

In any case, your problem occurs before you get to this stage. Your NVT is failing; you need to figure out why.

 with NVT?Is that the box type could be the resaon?



Convergence of PE is a good indicator that energy minimization is complete.
The purpose of NVT is to stabilize the temperature of the system.  My main
problem with what you said before was that you did 10 ps of NVT in 2600
steps.  This seems wrong, given the fractional nature of the time step
required to do such a procedure.  Use gmxcheck on the .trr or .edr file to
see how many frames it finds; verify that you have a complete trajectory.

Also, in the .mdp file you attached, you are applying position restraints to
the water in your system.  If you are not also restraining the protein, it is
 probably colliding with the water, causing the explosion you are seeing.
Why are you restraining water during NPT equilibration, or during MD for that
matter?

hi justin,

your suggestions were helpful. Actually  charges in the ligand topology
was having the problem. So I have added the charges from the antechamber.
Did Energy minimization. Now did an NVT equilibration of 10 ps. It
finished at 2600 steps. But shows reasonable Energy and Temperature
(checked in the xmgrace). Seems it works fine..Now started the NPT
equilibration.

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the reply.

Once again i tried to minimize the protein +ligand in vacuum. Also
tried by varying the maximum force constant. But that too converged at
the 15 th step (or lesser steps based on the Fmax). The em.mdp file i
have attached here with. Please go through that once please and tell me
 because of any of these parameters, the system behaves odd??.

As I said before, it is not the step that matters, it is whether or not
the system converges within your criteria.  I am assuming EM is working,
based on the fact that the process converges differently depending on
different target values for Fmax.  Your .mdp file looks reasonable.

If we can clarify for a moment - several messages ago you claimed that
you were doing a 20-ps NVT equilibration that was finishing at 15 steps,
but that appears to not be the case.  Is it the NVT step that is failing
to complete? Is ngmx failing to display the NVT trajectory, and did
gmxcheck report problems with the .edr file?

I think you are correct that the itp file created by PRODRG need corrections. But how can I chek that is that the problem with that file
 or how can i rectify?

Parameterization is very difficult.  Prepare for a lot of advanced work.

Hi Justin,

I tried maximum to find out the problem but i failed in that.

I will give you the detailed steps..Kindly check once and tell me
where is the problem. As you suggested now i am trying in gromacs
4.0.4 . 1. The ligand topology file is generated in PRODRG beta
server using the GROMOS 96.1 force field. 2. The protein toplogy file
using gromos 96 43 a1 force field 3. Tried to minimize in vacuum
(Please find the em.mdp file). But the cycle finished at 15 steps.
But in some previous post I saw that its not an error so I went ahead
with genbox and further minimization. But ended in the same 15 th
steps. also checked the gmxcheck for the files as you suggested it
show the following error.

What is most important is not the number of steps necessarily, but that
 the potential energy converged to an appropriate value and you reached
an Fmax below your target.

Realize that using a topology straight from PRODRG is often not the
best course. The charges and charge groups assigned by PRODRG often
require manual modification and verification of the parameters.  This
could be a source of problem.

It may be that there is some kind of bug, but before that can be proposed, you have to demonstrate that the preparation steps were successful (i.e., EM criteria of potential energy and Fmax).

The energy minimisation & the equilibration steps are finished at
15 step eventhough it was given for 20 ps(10000 steps).But the
output coordinates file doesnt show any abnornmality as i checked
in the viewer? My equilibration step was in NVT.

whether nothing is happening or any other problem?

If you got 15 steps when you expected 10000, it seems pretty clear to
 me that something crashed very early on in your simulation.

Can't connect to X Server. Check your DISPLAY environment variable


Seems like your X environment is somehow not properly configured.


If you are working through ssh, then you can :

$export DISPLAY=<your current computer's ip>:0.0



Or you are tunneling through a SSH connection. There are several possiblities:

1. Try ssh -X to login, this could solve the problem, if you are in
 principle allowed to use X11 tunneling. 2. In case this does not
work either it can be that you are not allowed to tunnel X11.

However take care that you also need a properly configured XServer
 running on your own system not just on the host you login. So in
case you use Windows or MacOS make sure this is the case.

What does gmxcheck tell you about the file. Perhaps it has been corrupted in some way.
