Dear Justin,
i am trying to insert a peptide in trans-bialyer orientation into a pre-equilibrated POPC bilayer using *inflategro* <http://moose.bio.ucalgary.ca/files/inflategro> script. After 13 steps of compression, the area per lipid is 2.61956768363491 nm^2, whereas the desired area per lipid is 0.658 nm^2. But when i try to energy minimize the compressed structure after 13th steps of compression, the energy did not converged and give the following errors. During em i use strong position restraints on peptide heavy atom using force constants of 100000.
------------------------------
perl inflategro em_13.gro 0.95 POPC 0 com_13.gro 5 area_lip.dat
grompp -f enermin.mdp -c com_13.gro -p system.top -o em_14.tpr
mdrun -s em_14.tpr -nice 4 -o em_14 -c em_14 -e em_14 -g em_14&
Reading file em_14.tpr, VERSION 3.3.1 (single precision)
Steepest Descents:
   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+03
   Number of steps    =        50000

From the LINCS warnings, you have a nice listing of where problems are occurring in terms of atom numbers. Have a look at the structure and see what's causing the clash; that may help in diagnosing what's going wrong.


Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 43 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy  = -1.2865473e+05
Maximum force     =  4.7082656e+04 on atom 547
Norm of force     =  6.7057188e+04

should i continue further compression with this energy minimized structure (em_14.gro)??

Try it and see. The forces don't look astronomical (they're high, but perhaps further EM can resolve them). Furthermore, the LINCS warnings didn't indicate major changes in the constraint lengths.

if not how can i slove this problem.
waiting for ur suggestion.
