Thank you all for the help and suggestion made .

According to the suggestions of Prof Duan after running constant volume and
then using single processor due to density of my system in constant
pressure the simulation runs with some statements as
check COM velocity, temp: 0.000220 0.00 (Removed) in my out file .
are these alright to proceed. My constant pressure input file below

&cntrl
   imin=0, ntx=5,
   irest=1, ntxo=1,tempi=50.0,
   ntf=1, ntc=1,
   ntpr=1000, ntwx=1000, ntwe=1000,
   nstlim=1500000,tautp=1, temp0=50.0,
   dt=0.0005, nscm=100,
   ntb=2,ntp=1,
   ntt=1, nsnb=20,
 &end


My other question is I have equilibrated the system at 50K . Whereas my MD
run is to be done at 300K . So should I repeat these steps to gradually
raise the temperature to 300K at constant volume. Again while heating
should I need to have restraints on the residues (or solute) I am using the
present run for a bigger system , I can send the output files again if
required.

Thanks for your time
