Thanks Justin,

I must inform you that my pdb file has a modified cysteine residue having a mercury atom attached to the sulphur atom next to the residue having the atom 2700. Is the murcury atom creating any problem? I want

Probably. Parameterizing such a species properly is not trivial, if it can even be done in a non-polarizable MM force field.

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Parameterization#Exotic_Species

to also know can I use amber forcefield in GROMACS for pdb files of lipid?


Lipids probably aren't built in, but could potentially be added if you provide the proper parameters. CHARMM is probably a better choice. CHARMM27 is built into Gromacs already, and CHARMM36 is available as a download from the website.

        Hi GROMACS users,

           i am in the midst of simulating  a protein in water.  I have
        modified  a residue  in my  pdb file at position  182,  using
        amber and then acpype.py.  But  after running  the energy
        minimization step,using  em.mdp file  generated from acpype ,
        following error comes.

        Steepest Descents:
          Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+03
          Number of steps    =         5000
Step= 17, Dmax= 1.5e-06 nm, Epot= 9.89827e+17 Fmax= inf, atom= 2700
        Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
        Converged to machine precision,
        but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1000

        Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.

        writing lowest energy coordinates.

        Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 18 steps,
        but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
        Potential Energy  =  9.8982703e+17
        Maximum force     =            inf on atom 2700
        Norm of force     =  1.7474532e+19


    An infinite force suggests severe atomic overlap.  Check the
    starting structure, paying close attention to atom 2700 and its
    surrounding environment.
