Dear Mark, Thanks for your suggestions. Atom 1 is the C which is expected to connect to the H ( atom 18) . Atom 5 is tha CA of the next resisue ( Valine), the bond 18-5 is not expected at all! However I see this pair in the [pairs] section of topology ! So I can get the result of an inappropriate bond interaction here! Correct? Now I think it's not necessary to go through the diagnosing steps any more! :-( What is my duty right now?!

There's a lesson there - everything you've done after ignoring that was doomed to fail. It can be right to ignore a warning, but you should know why it is right. If your topology defines a bond between atoms that are 0.35nm apart in your starting configuration, then either your topology or configuration have a serious problem. So satisfy yourself whether there should be such a bond in the topology, or whether the starting geometry is silly. > > Step 3: Monitor various components of the system's energy using g_energy.
