Hi, Bharat and thanks for the answer.

now I'm running an md simulation with the ternary complex (protein, cofactor, ligand) where the potential energy has risen and stabilised to a certain level, at least for the first 300 ps. I understand that the potential energy can rise and I'll be happy if the md finishes nicely. However, I'm confused with the difference between my earlier simulations, in which every time the potential energy decreased in the beginning of the simulation and stabilised. I managed to perform an md for the cofactor NADP (NDPP topology) where the potential energy decreased using a different mdp file than earlier, so I think the problem is in the input, as suggested by David van der Spoel.

I'll try to dig in to the parametrisation of the mdrun.

You may also want to reflect on your input. Sometimes you can see the energy go down, for instance when you have a system at low density that contracts, and sometimes it can go up, e.g. when you start at 0 K and increase the T. If you generate velocities in grompp the rise should not at all be so high. I don't think the force field is the problem here.
