Dear Gromacs users,

I am doing the MD of protein ligand complex. When I did the energy minimization 
of this complex,   in the result , the ligand molceule is moving far away from 
the protein.

What could be the possible reason? can anyone tell me how can i overcome this?


Two possibilities come to my mind.

1. The parameters of the ligand are inappropriate, causing the ligand to be ejected from the active site. This is unlikely in a simple EM procedure, and probably would cause lots of LINCS or "blowing up" warnings.

2. More likely: Your protein is positioned near a box edge and the ligand is crossing periodic boundaries. Consider how you set up the box and read about PBC:

Here I dint get any error message as you mentoined in th first possiblity.Then 
about the seocnd suggestion, only two options provided to in the manual. pbd : 
no and pbc: xyz. I havn;t found any change in my problrm.

can you rxplain a liitle bit more. waiting for you reply....


Given the information you've provided, no. If you can post the following information, maybe things will be more clear on our end:

1. The *exact* commands given to set up your system
2. The contents of your .mdp file

Thanks in advance.
