Indeed I have ran into problems. The molecule blows up on me whenever I try to calculate the energy. My input em.mdp is:
cpp                 =  /lib/cpp
define              =  -DFLEXIBLE
constraints         = none
integrator          =  cg
dt                  = 0.002
nsteps              =  1;100000
nstlist             =  10
ns_type             =  grid
rlist               =  0.8
rcoulomb            =  1.4
rvdw                =  1.4

the output of the program after mdrun is:
Polak-Ribiere Conjugate Gradients did not converge to Fmax < 10 in 2 steps.

my input .gro file is fine by visual checking using vmd, but the output blows up with a high energy.

It can be possibly done as you said... =) You may have your difficulty in this but not specified in the mail.
Use nstep=1 to calculate the energy.

Hi list,
is there a way to calculate the energy of a given molecule without having to put it in a periodic box?.. thanks

Rob
