Hi David and Bill,
Sorry for the delay in my response. I wanted to play with the simulation
and try a few things. I watched the movies Bill and i cant find anything
"strange" goign on. Maybe its something funky with the hydrogens on the
waters which are hard to see with so many of them. DAvid i tried to turn
off shake off and FAIL, I get this error: "ANDER BOMB in subroutine
nonbond_list
  volume of ucell too big, too many subcells
  list grid memory needs to be reallocated, restart sander"
So.... I tried increasing the water buffer from 12 to 50A and I recieve
this error, " Cutoff list exceeds largest sphere in unit cell!!
 Big problems with imaging!!
 a,b,c = -121.341151445557 -121.341151445557
  -121.341151445557
 alpha,beta,gamma = 90.0000000000000 90.0000000000000
   90.0000000000000
 cutlist,sphere = 14.0000000000000 -182.011727168336"
So then....... I try going back to 12A buffer no shake and setting Taup =
20.0 as I read in another thread in our newsgroup. When I do that the
simulation stops at about 300 ish psec. I check the output and the pressure
fluctuates wildly with an NPT simulation. I hope you guys have some ideas
or can help me see the problem.
thanks thanks thanks!!
