Dear all,

I am simulating a protein along with a ligand molecule. The ligand molecule is modeled as per the literature. The ligand molecule consists of FE and S alone and in addition to that it is covalently bonded with the enzyme's cys residue. So I have modeled my ligand FE4S4 with SG and CB atoms of cystine. I have included only bonded terms in my forcefield for my ligand (since I do not know other terms like angle and dihedral angles force constants etc) and the article does not mention these.

Now the problem is, when I try to run energy minimization , I encounter "Range checking error:" and the detailed error is pasted below. So I suspect this error is due to inadequate force field data like angles and dihedrals. Or is it caused by some other factor?.But one thing I am sure of is , when I simulate my system without the ligand, the error disappears. I am unable to find any answer to this query in the forum.

Kindly extend your help this time as you always do.

Range checking error:
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors. Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
energy seems reasonable before trying again.

Dear David,

Thanks for your reply. From your reply, I get the impression that the bond length of my hydrogen molecule gets adjusted duing minimization of the whole system ( protien+water+ inserted hydrogen molecule). But the issue impending is the insertion of the hydrogen molecule itself into the protein+water box created in previous step. For insertion/addition of hydrogen molecules I used the command:

genbox_d -cp 2frv.conf.gro -o 2frv.solv.gro -p 2frv.top –ci h2.gro –nmol 100

What about a two-stage process? Do genbox -ci h2.gro -nmol 100 when there's no water, and then solvate *afterwards*.

Or, generate solvent, and get a list of 100 random numbers in the right range, manually delete those water molecules to create interstices, update your [molecules] section, then use genconf -ci and equilibrate carefully to fix the density.

Or, generate solvent for a box somewhat smaller than the one you want, use editconf -scale to scale the coordinates up to create interstices, use genconf -ci and then minimize really gently to fix all the bond lengths, and equilibrate carefully to fix the density.

It reports to me the inability to add any of the hydrogen molecules, ie it adds 0 molecules out of 100 requested.

How do i rectify this problem?
I suspect the problem is due to the bond length of the hydrogen molecule that I created with 1.66A distance ( as described in my previous post) and the fact that the gap between the solvent molecules (in my case , water) is not big enough to accomodate the H2 molecules(as I had used the pdb of CO2 and replaced each O with an H and C atom with dummy atom.). So could you please help me figure out any tool that helps in adjusting the bond length of my hydrogen molecule in pdb to the desired length of 0.7A.

Or as you said is it possible to minize a single molecule using md_run program, as I encountered certain problems in doing so .

Sorry for the lengthy mail.

Thank you ,
Jyotsna
