I have tried the cg protein alone
genbox -cp my.pdb -box 15 -o my.gro
Again I ask why you are using SPC as the solvent. If you indeed want to use the
MARTINI CG water representation, you must pass its configuration explicitly to
the -cs flag. Otherwise, the default (spc216.gro) is used.
Are you defining the protein's position in the box before solvation? Using
editconf -c is your friend.
grompp -f em.mdp -c my.gro -p my.top -o topol.tpr
mdrun -v -s topol.tpr
steepest descents converged to machine precision but not to the
requested Fmax < 2000
Pot Ener 7.1e+08
Max force 6.1e+10 on atom 983
Norm of force 2.5e+11
confout.gro shows that one of the subunits has been displaced from the
multimer (apparently both intact) There is a long bond between the
displaced subunit and the rest of the multimer, very closely to the
atom 983 of max force, located in the pore region. I have scarce
experience with gromacs yet, hope that this suggests remedies. I used
a crude version of em.mdp.
Well, there are several potential problems. One is the box size (as I mentioned
in my last message). The other question is whether or not the conversion from
atomistic to CG was done correctly. I know I have mentioned the problems with
the MARTINI script a number of times, and perhaps this has also come up in our
discussions before, but do check that the starting CG coordinates make sense.
Beyond that, try an in vacuo minimization of your protein and see what happens
there.
