Okay, thanks. But then does it make any big difference on mdrun if we don't minimize energy first?


You should always run energy minimization. What I'm saying is that you should not expect to see any major changes or important phenomena evolve when simply running EM.

And one more thing, any idea how long it may take to run md for 367 atoms on a laptop with 2GB ram, and dual core 1.4GHz processor. I am just wondering if it is possible to get any results from mdrun on laptop?


You can get results, but that depends entirely upon how much of the processor is being used to do other things at the same time. For a small system, running locally may be an option, but for anything larger than a few hundred atoms you're better off running on a real cluster to avoid performance loss. It will certainly "work," but probably not as fast as you might need for very long simulations.

When I run in the .trr output file, ends of dna only move slightly towards cnt, but it doesn't wrap around it. Could anyone please guide me what can be the possible issues here, and how can I improve it?

Energy minimization and dynamics are independent processes. You should not expect large structural changes during EM with any of the methods.

Always start with the primary literature:
