Dear users

I performed some long-time simulations using gromacs 4.0. The longest simulation trajectory is about 62 ns. Unfortunately the trajectory seems to be damaged. If I calculate the RMSD of different interesting regions the values are beginning to jump up an down after about 17 ns in one case an after about 51ns in another case. At 17802 the RMSD is at 0.23 nm and at the next step (3ps later) the RMSD is at 5.14 nm at 17826 it is normal again (see below). This usually happens only late in the simulation - in a second trajectory this occurs first at about 51 ns. Is it possible that the integration step with 3fs is too big? In other systems it worked fine (also parameterized with the 3 integration step) but there I always stopped the calculation after about 25 ns. Unfortunately I can not visualize these steps in VMD because it simply crashing without giving a reason when trying to load on of the "jumping" trajectories. Any ideas where the problem is? Gromacs itself never crashed. Are those trajectories lost (a lot of cpu-time was used to calculate them)?

cheers
Bernhard
