Dear Mark,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, TIP5P is completely rigid and the FLEXIBLE define will not change it. Any other ideas?
Best,

You should be able to minimize with CG and TIP5P by eliminating
constraints, by making the water use a flexible molecule, e.g. define
= -DFLEXIBLE (or something). Check your water .itp file for how to do
it.

Dear GMXers,
Since I am interested in interactions of lone electron pairs of water oxygen within the active site of an enzyme that I work on, I decided to give TIP5P
a shot. I use OPLSAA. I run into troubles very fast trying to minimize
freshly solvated system. I found on the gmx-users
(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-March/032732.html) that cg and constraints don't go together when TIP5P is to be used - thats OK. It turned out, however, that I was not able to minimize my protein even with steepest descent. The system minimizes with TIP4P pretty well (emtol=1.0). In the meantime I tried to minimize short peptide - 10aa, did not work as well. What happens? The LP of water used to get too close to positively charged hydrogens (without VDW radius) on arginine. It looks like this:

Energy minimization has stopped, but the forces havenot converged to the
(...)

In this example atom 171 is HH21 of ARG, and 11181 is oxygen of water that got close to this ARG. Sometimes the epot turns nan at the end. If you would
like to reproduce, I put the peptide.pdb, the mdp file and the running
script at http://shroom.ibb.waw.pl/tip5p . If anybody have any suggestions how to minimize (deep) with OPLSAA + TIP5P in gromacs (4.6.3 preferably...) without constraining bond lengths (which is also problematic), I will be
very very grateful.
Best,

Grzegorz Wieczorek
