[AMBER] Error with NVT and NPT Simulations

Hello,



I am trying to use Amber/12.0 to model the interactions between the protein
Hfq and the RNA bound to it. I am an undergraduate lab member working at
UT Austin using Stampede at TACC. I am currently having trouble with one
of my equilibration steps. The error first occurred when trying to perform
an NPT simulation, which makes believe there may be an error in the restart
file obtained from the NVT simulation that was ran one step earlier. The
line counts for the min.restrt and NVT.restrt files are 68679 and 137355
lines, respectively. The graduate student I work under informed me there
should be twice as many lines in the NVT.restrt file; however, it is three
lines short of double. Below, I have copy and pasted the latest output
file to show an example of the error.



 \login4$ wc *restrt

   68679 412064 5013433 min.restrt

  137355 824121 10026872 NVT.restrt

Here is some additional information that may be useful in troubleshooting
my problem:

I started with a .pdb file of the protein and RNA and removed hydrogens,
waters, and ions. Water and ions were added back into the system by the
following code:



source ~/kevleap.ff12SB

logfile 4HT9.leaplog

x=loadpdb 4HT9_noH.pdb

check x

saveamberparm x 4HT9.prmtop 4HT9.inpcrd

addions2 x Mg+ 49

addions2 x K+ 88

addions2 x Na+ 2

addions2 x Cl- 0

check x

solvatebox x TIP3PBOX 20.0 1.0

check x

saveamberparm x 4HT9_ion.prmtop 4HT9_ion.inpcrd

savepdb x 4HT9_ions.pdb

quit



(43499 water residues were added to the system, and the additional ions
were calculated using known cellular concentrations)



Once new files were generated for the neutralized system, minimization and
NVT simulations were ran.



Please let me know if there is any additional information that would be
useful. I tried to include as much pertinent information as I could think
of—hopefully, this is not too lengthy. Thank you in advance for any advice
you can offer me!



Thanks,
