The compounds are, for example, Imidazole-->Imidazole-5-ol or
Purine-->Purine-8-ol.

Hi Tom,
thanks for the quick response.
I can say that this happened,for instance, with these two transformations:
Imidazole-->Imidazole-5-ol or Purine-->Purine-8-ol.
Do your simulations stop at the same point each time?
Did you check both output files for errors (sometimes a message only appears
in v0.out or v1.out)
In the two examples, in the first one, it stops at lambda=0.4, because the
v0 stops - with no error message - and v1 terminates normally.
With this, a coordinate file (.rst file) is written for v1 but not for v0
and the calculation stops.
In the second transformation, it stops at lambda=0.1, and the v0 stops with
no error message and v1 terminates normally, again.
Do you see anything in the structure when you write out the trajectory?
I am not writing a trajectory file for each lambda. For each lambda, i am
just writing a coordinate file that corresponds to the last structure.
With this, for v0, I have a coordinate file for lambda=0.3 that seems ok.
Thanks again for your help.
I am available for further explanation if necessary.
