Hi Manish,
First you have to be absolutely cetain that the number of atoms in the
target and reference protein are identical. Also you have to add the
same number of couter-ions to both systems.
As for the waters, the official protocol is to play a bit with the
box-boundary values, until leap adds the correct number of waters. This
never worked for me however. I added to many waters to the reference
system and deletetd the remaining waters by editing the inpcrd file of
the reference system. Remember to adjust the number of total atoms in
the second line of this file.
This worked for me, and the resulting trajectory looked good.
hth,
simon
