HI All:
I am using GB model to do minimization
of a protein in SANDER (AMBER7). The script 
to do minimization is as follows
------------------
&cntrl
 imin=1, maxcyc=5000
 cut=300.0, igb=2, saltcon=0.1, gbsa=1,
 ntpr = 20, ntx=1, ntb=0,
 ntwx=500, 
 &end
--------------------
During minimization,
I keep seeing energy spikes at regular
intervals (ex 100 steps in some cases) after
few 1000 steps. My starting configuration has 
no bumps and the energy is close to zero. 
I also have the LINMIN FAILURE message during
minimization. I am aware of the web-page in amber
home which discusses LINMIN issues. My question is 
how to handle the energy spikes and LINMIN failures. 
Thanks 
Ravi
