Dear Dr. Ross
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I have found a problem in my inhibitor structure after minimization, and I am working now to figure out the problem.
But, I have a doubt about some points and need someone to place an emphasis on the correct answer:
* I have a lignad has a negative charged oxygen (for example: CH3O-). I couldn't find an tometype for this charged atom, if I treated it as hydroxyle oxygen, during xleap step. So, what should I do?
* The second point, I am going to model an ion (for example Ca2+) and the Ca2+ is bonuded to four residues (i.e. Ca(Res)4). So, I need to calculate the charge of the system (Ca(Res)4) after optimization . Then, what is the difference between:
i- to define Ca(Res)4 as a non-standard residue
and ii- to define each one of our four Res as non-standard residue and Ca as another residue.
I took forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance;

Hi Mahmoud
I suspect this a problem with your initial structure more than it is a problem with the restraints. Have you tried it without the restraints?
Did you minimize properly? Have you checked the structure to make sure it is reasonable?
I would suggest, as a test, turning off shake, setting dt=0.0005 and running 500 steps with ntpr=1 and ntwx=1 and then visualizing this. In this way you should be able to work out where the structural problems are so you can fix them.
Good luck
Ross
