Hi Sangeeta, Mark,
Well, one, six, that's about the same thing (the same order of
magnitude at least). Maybe just over a handful, but all six of them
will be jostled around quite a bit by coupling to their private
jacuzzi!
I think a warning is a good idea, but maybe 10 is even on the low side
for that. Since temperature is macroscopic, you'll need enough atoms
not to deviate too much from the target temperature. I have no
evidence on which I can make a proper suggestion... My bidding will be
50! Going once, going twice... (maybe someone has looked more into
this matter. David, Berk?).

This is a bad idea and we see it regularly on this mailing list. Coupling
a single atom to a thermal bath is asking for trouble... what is the
temperature of a single atom? Do you really want to be adding/taking
random amounts of energy all the time?
It's possible this explains your problem when you move to higher
temperatures, but it makes everything else you've done suspect as well. A
better approach is to couple to Protein and Non-Protein groups.
Developers... how about a warning in grompp when a group has less than 10
atoms or some such?
