Dear Ambers,
I have following doubts. That is,
(1) I wish to calcualte the free energy of formation
of a DNA system. For that, I am carrying out steepest
descent (1000cycles) and conjugate gradient
minimization for the convergence of 0.0001 in vaccum.
However, during the minimization following error
occurs.

kindly, tell me what could be the reason for this
error. Input I have used is,
&cntrl
timlim=999999., idiel=0, dielc=4.0,
cut=99.0, ntnb=1, nsnb=10, scee=1.2,
imin=1, maxcyc=9000000, ncyc=1000,
drms=0.0001
&end
(2) I have another basic question regarding prep and
parm.dat files.
For the dynamics or minimization bond distance,
angle and torsional parameters given in parm
(parm94.dat or parm.96.dat or ....) file are used.
However, we are specifying bond length, angle and
torsional angle values in the prep file also. I like
to know whether prep values be overridden (except
parital charges) by the values specified in the
parm.dat file.
Please clarify this point also.
Thank you very much in advance.
yours sincerely,
thenmalar
