                  When i tried to minimize the system of DNA+water with
        constraints & then tried equilibration MD run, i am getting the
        following errs

        [shake failure]

        But on the otherhand if i do minimization for 2000 steps without any
        constraints & then do eqilibration MD run, i am not getting the
        above err. i don't understand why it is so.
        
Evidently the constraints used in minimization prevent a relaxation
that is critical to starting MD in the manner you have chosen. This
implies a problem with your starting coordinates, relatively minor
since minimization is capable of fixing it.
