Thanks for your reply.

1.My cutoffs are OK. Indeed, changing them leads to the same problem.

This outcome points to a topology or configuration issue.

2.My original box is 20nm in length. I generate it using genconf to avoid
any lack of memory that genbox could provide for a system of such a size.
Then I use editconf to reach the required density of 1000g/l.

Scaling with editconf can shorten or elongate bonds and has never been a very robust approach in my hands. It is better to generate a box that has a reasonable density and use sufficient equilibration to achieve the target value (within the accuracy of the force field being used).

2b.Atom 13090 is a H atom of an MEA molecule (HO-CH2-CH2-NH2). More
specifically, it is the hydrogen directly bonded to the oxygen.

Surprisingly, when I simulate a similar system for which I only substitute
the monoethanolamine molecules by ethanolamine molecules, everything works
perfectly fine.

Could you help me on this?


Probably the editconf scaling adjusted the coordinates in a bad way.
