bond length?



You'll have to provide more information about how you parametrized this 
covalent ligand. This is a far different case from a "normal" 
protein-ligand complex and requires very careful force field 
parametrization, including the linkage itself and any impacts that may 
have on associated protein terms. In this case, I don't see how you can 
assess the stability of the ligand topology by itself, as you said you 
had. Please explain in greater detail.

I corrected the mdp file. As you said I opened my gro file in VMD but I didn't

Could you explain how can I observe bad contacts in the structure?
I even tried the different box size but it didn't work.
Both ligand and protein are ok with minimization separately.

Calculate interatomic distances and look for anything very close to atom 
1996, check the topology to make sure sensible interactions will occur 
between that atom and its surroundings.



I even tried the different box size but it didn't work.


Box size is not relevant here.

Your cutoffs are for the CHARMM force field, not OPLS. This isn't the 
source of the error, but you are using the force field incorrectly.


Other than that, protein-ligand complexes are specifically addressed in 
the troubleshooting section of
