Hello,

  I am doing ensemble refinement with PRE restraints using the fit.py script 
file. My protein is hexamer with flexible tails. I found that during the 
cooling steps, the VDW energy was very large and the time step is very small. 
Following is an example.
*--- Dynamics ---- step=    300 ---- time=  0.021599 ---- delta_t=9.3514e-05 --*
| E(kin)+E(poten)=     31384.160 E(kin)=       576.838 temperature=     50.113 |
|   E(poten)= 30807.3227460       grad=    34.6660233      ANGL=  5162.0899430 |
|       BOND=  1152.4255825       IMPR=  1012.4482395       PRE=  2831.6677982 |
|       RAMA=-21179.4077831        VDW= 41828.0989658

The starting structure was refined with no nonbonded violations and small VDW 
energies as below.
*-- POWELL ------ step=    135 --- stepsize=   0.01000 --- energy evals=   44 -*
|   E(poten)=  -929.6124511       grad=     1.8164828      ANGL=  1041.7818070 |
|       BOND=   226.5438108       IMPR=   137.7415772      RAMA= -3098.5804725 |
|        VDW=   762.9008263                                                    |
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Is that possible that the VDW energy so high that the PRE energy can not be 
refined?
 

Best wishes!
Yours,
