Hello,
I am doing Molecular-Dynamic simulation of Protein-Ligand complex embedded in POPC lipid membrane. After energy minimizing of complex, I am facing problem with NVT equilibration step. mdrun crashed with following error: "12 particles communicated to PME node 4 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension x. This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated." These are the parameters used in nvt.mdp file: title = NVT equilibration define = -DPOSRES_LIPID -DPOSRES -DPOSRES_WATER ; position restrain the protein ; Run parameters integrator = md ; leap-frog integrator nsteps = 50000 ; 2 * 50000 = 100 ps dt = 0.002 ; 2 fs ; Output control nstxout = 100 ; save coordinates every 0.2 ps nstvout = 100 ; save velocities every 0.2 ps nstenergy = 100 ; save energies every 0.2 ps nstlog = 100 ; update log file every 0.2 ps ; Bond parameters continuation = no ; first dynamics run constraint_algorithm = lincs ; holonomic constraints constraints = all-bonds ; all bonds (even heavy atom-H bonds) constrained lincs_iter = 1 ; accuracy of LINCS lincs_order = 4 ; also related to accuracy ; Neighborsearching ns_type = grid ; search neighboring grid cels nstlist = 5 ; 10 fs rlist = 1.2 ; short-range neighborlist cutoff (in nm) rcoulomb = 1.2 ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm) rvdw = 1.2 ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm) ; Electrostatics coulombtype = PME ; Particle Mesh Ewald for long-range electrostatics pme_order = 4 ; cubic interpolation fourierspacing = 0.16 ; grid spacing for FFT ; Temperature coupling is on tcoupl = V-rescale ; modified Berendsen thermostat tc-grps = Protein_LMT POPC Water_and_ions ; three coupling groups - more accurate tau_t = 0.1 0.1 0.1 ; time constant, in ps ref_t = 271 271 271 ; reference temperature, one for each group, in K ; Pressure coupling is off pcoupl = no ; no pressure coupling in NVT ; Periodic boundary conditions pbc = xyz ; 3-D PBC ; Dispersion correction DispCorr = EnerPres ; account for cut-off vdW scheme ; Velocity generation gen_vel = yes ; assign velocities from Maxwell distribution gen_temp = 271 ; temperature for Maxwell distribution gen_seed = -1 ; generate a random seed ; COM motion removal ; These options remove motion of the protein/bilayer relative to the solvent/ions nstcomm = 1 comm-mode = Linear comm-grps = Protein_LMT_POPC Water_and_ions Please help me...!!!! -- *Padmani sandhu* *Research Scholar,* *Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics,* *Central University of Himachal Pradesh,* *Temporary Academic Block, Shahpur * *Pin 176206, District Kangra,* *Himachal Pradesh, India* -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?
