Hi Justin

Below is my nvt.mdp (nvt equilibration) file.i think probably you can have look at it and its not such big.

define = -DFLEXIBLE

You should never run MD with flexible water. All the water models included in Gromacs are meant to be rigid. -DFLEXIBLE should only be used during EM.

integrator = md nsteps = 50000 dt = 0.002 nstxout = 100 nstvout = 100 nstenergy = 100 nstlog = 100 constraint_algorithm = shake constraints = none

If you're not using constraints, then a 2-fs timestep might be too large. If you encounter any later instability, this is likely the cause.

unconstrained_start = yes shake_tol = 0.0001 morse = no ns_type = grid nstlist = 5 rlist = 1.0 coulombtype = PME rcoulomb = 1.0 vdwtype = Cut-off rvdw = 1.0 pme_order = 4 fourierspacing = 0.16 pbc = xyz tcoupl = V-rescale tc-grps = system tau_t = 0.1 ref_t = 300 DispCorr = Ener gen_vel = yes gen_temp = 300 gen_seed = 173529 regarding the plot i too know that one should use Xmgrace to plot. In the pressure Vs time(lysozyme tutorial) you have got two graphs. i to got the pressure Vs time (black line graph) my question is how to get the running average ( red line) and plot?. does i need any command to get the running average?. any help is highly appreciated.

        Hi justin

        I found what went wrong and i corrected my mdp file.now the
        system equilibrated to the desired temperature 300 K (plus r
        minus 30 K) is this ok?


    This is impossible to assess without seeing your .mdp settings.  A
    fluctuation of 10% is probably fine.


        Apart from that i want to know how you plot the average running
        pressure and density in your tutorial for lyzosyme (redline). i
        just  want to do that for DCE. any help is highly appreciated.

           VMD tries to guess where bonds should be, but does not always
        do a
           good job. Your topology defines bonds.  These are the only bonds
           that there will be.  None can be broken or formed in standard MD.


               equilibrated to the required temperature (300K) i found
        that the

           Without seeing your .mdp file, there's no way to know.  The
           fluctuation does seem too high, though, unless your system
        really is
           just that unstable.  Are other properties converged - potential
           energy, density, etc?  What type of ensemble are you using?

                      Dear Justin

                      what corrections i should make to ffoplsaan.itp to
        make it
                      correct. what i should give instead of CAB and CLAA?.


                  You must use atom types, not names.  Unfortunately, you've
               chosen to
                  use atom names, which are also types, which makes all
        of this
               quite
                  confusing if you're not sure what you're doing.

                  You defined two new atom types - opls_966 (CAB) and
        opls_967
               (CLAA),
                  which are the only indicators you are allowed to use if
               introducing
                  new types.  Thus, references to atom names (CAC, CLAD)
        will
               generate
                  fatal errors.


                      i copied the .rtp .atp .itp files from
                      usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top to my working
               directory and
                      added these parameters to the corresponding files.
        what
               you mean
                      is should i need to add these parameters to the source
               directory
                      ( usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top)?


                  Your topology needs to be consistent with whatever
        files need
               to be
                  included. By default, Gromacs checks the working
        directory first,
                  but if you've moved to a new (sub)directory to carry
        out further
                  steps, the grompp will not find your modified files,
        but will
                  instead locate only the default force field files in
        $GMXLIB.
                   Either keep all your work in one directory (which can get
               messy),
                  or make use of the "include" keyword in the .mdp file.
         Any
                  directory specified there will be searched after the
        working
                  directory, but before $GMXLIB.

                         You shouldn't be using atom names in the [*types]

                         thus you have only utilized opls_966 (CAB) and
