Dear all, I am currently trying to insert the MscL protein into the DMPC bilayer. I followed Justin Lemkul's tutorial 2 (with the exception of using dmpc instead of dppc) and receive this error message after shrinking and energy minimization.

Done! I've also tried the same process with popc and dppc and get the same error message. I've previously read that it could be an issue with the grompp coordinate input file, but I'm not sure what is wrong in this instance.
