Hi,

I found that in big system, when I work with pdb files I have to use gmxdump in order to find out which atom the number mean.

But it's the same atom name as in the coordinate file you supplied to grompp, and as is written at the end of mdrun. gmxdump on your .tpr might only be needed if you didn't have these!

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?

               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.

                  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,
