Hi Justin,

I added a phosphate (TYP) to my protein and now want to do first a
minimization (which I already did), then a short md run (for the case that
I am in a local minima) and after that again a minimization.
Since I only want to minimize the energy of the phosphate I freezed the
rest of the protein (Protein_&_!TYP).


Since on my cluster I am not allowed to run long jobs I had to divide the
minimization run in several runs. The output of the last run was:

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
Potential Energy  = -7.7264606e+05
Maximum force     =  1.6227990e+04 on atom 961
Norm of force     =  1.2328220e+02

After this minimization run I wanted to do the md run.

My protein is a membrane protein with its surrounding membrane. I already
did a minimization and md run with this protein but without the phosphate.
The only difference to the time when everything worked fine is the
phosphate.

Does this help you somehow to see the failure?


Your minimization is insufficient. You have a maximum force in excess of 16000 on atom 961. Such a large force explains the crash. You should investigate what this atom is and what is pushing on it so hard.
