Hi Sangeeta,

I think the problem is a lone sodium ion which is shaken vigorously
round by its private heat bath, at some point getting too intimate
with one of the water molecules around.

Never, never, NEVER give a handful of atoms, or a single atom, it's
own heat bath! Put the sodium in with the solvent. Search the archives
for tc-grps, temperature coupling, and such (and possibly my name), to
get a fuller account. Besides that, you may be better off adding some
additional sodium chloride... One sodium may balance the net charge,
but it will not balance a charged protein.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Dear All,

Thanks a lot to Mark,Tsjerk and Erik your promt reply.
It is a globular protein containing approximately 70
residues having crysal structure, without any
ligand,the simulation continued  for 1.5 ns, & then
gave the segmentation fault, My .mdp file is given
below, I used SPC216 water and steepest descent for
minimisation, the emtol was 1000,it converged to that
within 800 steps.I used position restrained dynamics
for 50ps.The protein  had -ve charge, so I added NA+
as counter ion.I used the same parameter
for carrying out the simualtion of the same protein at
3/4 other tempeartures,the runs were completed without
giving any error.Waiting for your promt help.
