Dear All,

while energy minimization with the protein fixed i am getting following error:


*t = 0.011 ps: Water molecule starting at atom 21089 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep.*
Even if i am reducing timesteps its not working.
The minim.mdp file which i have used is:;

By freezing the protein, you are probably preventing a bad contact (or more than just one) from being resolved. Any particular reason you're freezing the protein during EM? Seems self-defeating to me.

Open the structure in your favorite visualization program, see where the problematic water molecule is, and try to identify what it is clashing with.
