Hi,
 what do you mean: "use gmxdump to trace the molecule"?
I'm a beginner with gromacs and all I found about gmxdump is that it reads a binary file & prints that to standard output in a readable format. So how can I check if my atom number is the same in my pdb file & my output file?

    Hi,

    another point you should consider is that the atom/molecule number
    in the pdb or gro file are not necessarally the what you see in your
    output. You should use gmxdump in such cases to trace the molecule.

Hmm? Why would the atom numbers not be accurate? Perhaps they might be out by one if there's a counting-from-zero vs counting-from-one mismatch, but surely nothing worse than that... And how would gmxdump help?

                Thank you for your reply,
                but none of the water molecules with error messages is
                trapped inside my protein, nor is it in contact with the
                protein or the ions in my system.


        Also if the water molecules are positioned properly, you can try
        define = -DPOSRES_WATER in your .mdp file with a high value set
        in your topology(.top) file under [position restraint] section as,

        #ifdef POSRES_WATER
        ; Position restraint for each water oxygen
        [ position_restraints ]
        ;  i funct       fcx        fcy        fcz
           1    1       100000       100000       100000
        #endif

        -Manik

            Then you need to watch the trajectory and see where things
            go wrong.  In unstable systems, I often set "nstxout = 1" to
            capture as many frames in the .trr file as possible (if the
            crash is happening early, as it is in your case).

            Likely, energy minimization did not resolve all the bad
            contacts, but may still have converged within your criteria.
             You could also specify a lower target Fmax during EM to see
            if things resolve.

                   Hi Carla,

                   You may have a water molecule trapped inside your
                protein. Check the
                   water molecule with the given atom number in a
                viewer, together with
                   your structure. If it is inside, you can try to
                remove it manually
                   from the system, editing the structure file and
                decreasing the amount
                   of solvent listed in te topology file. If you edit
                the .gro file, do
                   mind to decrease the number on the second line (the
                number of atoms)
                   by three.

                   Hope it helps,

                   Tsjerk
