Dear all,
I solved several NMR solution structures on small molecules or
pseudo-peptides using a typical approach proposed in the tutorials
(
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial4/). (build the compounds
using Sirius, run antechamber, then a cooking stage to generate a broad
range of starting random conformations, a short minimization stage and
finally a simulated annealing with NMR restraints). During the
calculations on a specific compound, the temperature is not controled
and "vlimit exceeded" errors occured during the SA protocol and the
system blow up for some structures:

It seems to be related to the COOH C-terminal group of this
pseudo-peptide since no error occured when the molecule is COO-
(nevertheless, NMR experiments were recorded in MeOH and this function
is protonated). Do you have any idea? (may be modifying the tautp
parameter...). Thanks.
