Do not be tempted to think that there is a "standard" or "required" workflow. 
The ensembles and environments you choose are dependent upon the task at hand. 
There may be common workflows for proteins in water, but even those are not set 
in stone.

Dear users,

I have done simulation with my protein in water earlier successfully using 
CHARMM36 FF. Now, I am trying to simulate protein in vacum similar to the last 
simulation of protein-water. When I go to the NPT equilibration, I get a fatal 
error.
The commands I ran:

The npt.mdp file settings are:
; Parameters describing neighbors searching and details about interaction 
calculations
ns_type= grid; Neighbor list search method (simple, grid)
nstlist= 5; Neighbor list update frequency (after every given 
number of steps)
rlist= 1.2; Neighbor list search cut-off distance (nm)
rlistlong   = 1.4
rcoulomb= 1.2   ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)
rvdw= 1.2   ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm)
vdwtype = switch
rvdw_switch = 0.8
; Parameters for treating bonded interactions
continuation= no; Whether a fresh start or a continuation from a 
previous run (yes/no)
constraint_algorithm = LINCS; Constraint algorithm (LINCS / SHAKE)
constraints= all-bonds; Which bonds/angles to constrain (all-bonds / 
hbonds / none / all-angles / h-angles)
lincs_iter= 1; Number of iterations to correct for rotational 
lengthening in LINCS (related to accuracy)
lincs_order= 4; Highest order in the expansion of the constraint 
coupling matrix (related to accuracy)

; Parameters for treating electrostatic interactions
coulombtype= PME; Long range electrostatic interactions treatment 
(cut-off, Ewald, PME)
pme_order= 4; Interpolation order for PME (cubic interpolation is 
represented by 4)
fourierspacing= 0.16; Maximum grid spacing for FFT grid using PME 
(nm)

; Temperature coupling parameters
tcoupl= Nose-Hoover; Modified Berendsen thermostat using 
velocity rescaling
tc-grps= Protein ; Define groups to be coupled separately to 
temperature bath
tau_t= 0.5; Group-wise coupling time constant (ps)
ref_t= 310 ; Group-wise reference temperature (K)

; Pressure coupling parameters
pcoupl= Parrinello-Rahman; Pressure coupler used under NPT 
conditions
pcoupltype= isotropic; Isotropic scaling in the x-y direction, 
independent of the z direction
tau_p= 5.0; Coupling time constant (ps)
ref_p= 1.0; Reference pressure for coupling, x-y, z 
directions (bar)
compressibility = 4.5e-54.5e-5; Isothermal compressibility (bar^-1)
refcoord_scaling = com




Vacuum is incompatible with pressure coupling.
