Dear Justin,

I could solve that perticular error but another problem has come, After running energy minimization, the sulphur and mercury(GG)atoms (present in the modified residue of cysteine named CYP at 182 position) break the bonds.


Bonds don't break and form during molecular mechanical processes. Likely whatever you're seeing is simply extreme instability in the system. Most likely your topology is wrong. You haven't said what parameters you're using, but as I know I have indicated previously, deriving good parameters for such an exotic species will be extremely challenging for the biomolecular force fields present in Gromacs. My guess is that you haven't yet obtained proper parameters.

    Dear Justin,

    I could resolve that perticular error but another problem has come,
    After running energy minimization, the sulphur and mercury(GG)atoms
    (present in the modified residue of cysteine named CYP at 182
    position) break the bonds and become freely moving atoms. I have
    attached my prepared gromacs(aqp_newbox) topology(topol.top) and
    file obtained after energy mimization(em.gro).
                                                        Please help me.

        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
         The mdp file is attached.

                                           Please help.
