dear all;
I am trying to run grompp command and I encounter this:
.............................................................................
WARNING 1 [file topol.top, line 54]:
  The bond in molecule-type DNA_chain_A between atoms 1 H5T and 2 O5' has
  an estimated oscillational period of 9.0e-03 ps, which is less than 5
  times the time step of 2.0e-03 ps.
  Maybe you forgot to change the constraints mdp option.

however when I use -maxwarn with grompp, it seems like that there is nothing wrong. Is it OK to continue the simulation with using maxwarn, or is there some thig wrong that needs to be modified?


Don't believe that nothing is wrong when using -maxwarn. If you're invoking -maxwarn, you're telling grompp "ignore all the things you think are problems." Unless you understand the exact implications of overriding these warnings, you shouldn't be blindly pushing forward. As the warning states, your time step is too long to be stable in the absence of constraints.
