Which version of Gromacs?  On what hardware?  I discovered a platform-specific 
bug that looked a lot like this, but I hesitate to suggest that until I know more.


In all likelihood, you simply have unresolvable atomic overlap (i.e., you're 
packing too much) such that energy minimization cannot complete, since nan = 
not a number, or something is infinitely large or small.

same potential energy nan result.




Do other simple systems work?  Can you do simple tutorial systems like lysozyme 
in water?


Otherwise, you've got some topology problem that prevents the system from being 
properly minimized.  Set nstxout=1 in your .mdp file and watch what's happening.

help me!



The purpose of nstxout=1 is not to give you a different result.  It might aid 
you in watching the trajectory to determine what is going wrong.  From these 
values, and everything I have seen thus far, you have a physically unreasonable 
system.  Either you have atomic overlap or a topology problem.  Unless you 
provide substantially more diagnostic information, then pleas like help me 
will get you nowhere.  You haven't even provided a description of your system 
beyond membrane protein.  The contents, topology sources, steps taken up until 
now, etc are all necessary pieces of information.

the way you're building the system or constructed the topology.  If you want

Otherwise the trajectory looks OK (methane moving around inside the 
cylinder). If I go on to use the conf.gro file for an mdrun, it runs to 
completion and generates what looks like a reasonable trajectory, 
however the output again contains NaN i.e:

and calculating the Diffusion coefficient gives:
D[   CH4] 613.6682 (+/- 97.0563) 1e-5 cm^2/s

If I do the same calculation but reduce the cut-offs to 0.9. I get

For this system, the cut-off shouldn?t need to be larger than 0.8 (I 
have plotted graphs of calculated V vs r) so it is worrying that the 
diffusion coefficient is showing such dependence on the cut-offs when 
they should all give the same result.


Can anyone offer any insight into this? I?ve tried changing the timestep

It's hard to tell from your description, since an energy minimization is 
not a simulation... but please try following this general scheme

Hi Mark,
I'm sorry, I assume you'll understand that I've carried out all the steps 
before an EM run.
David said is because the coordinates are on top of each other, I'll 
appreciate any more specific advice on how to fix this.

Meanwhile, I'll try Martin's advice on making the water flexible.

Hi,
I figured it might be neccessary to show my *.top file  and coordinate file 
(b4 solvation) so I could easily get help.
