Hi

I changed the magnitude of the improper angle force constants (from 5000 to 10.0).

I ran a minimization (2500 steps) keeping restrained the heavy atoms of both protein and ligand and letting free water molecules and ions.
Afterward a ran a min. (10000 steps) of the whole system (to min the system before running a MD):

Initial XMIN minimisation of PknG-Adenine complex: complex, water and ions
 &cntrl
  imin=1,
  maxcyc=10000,
  ntmin=3,
  ntb=1,
  igb=0,
  ntr=0,
  cut=10,
  ntpr=10, ntwx=10, ntwr=1000

The min. stopped at step 4230. There was no error message in the output file whereas i got a stdut error message:

ERROR in load_lbfgs(): YS=0

What does it mean?

Thank you.
valentina

It looks like you have dihedral angle force constants of 5000 or so (!) These
are 2-3 orders of magnitude too big, and you will never be able to do
molecular dynamics with such large forces.

I think that in the past you seemed very worried about having non-planar
groups, but I don't remember ever getting a clear answer to the question of
whether you were seeing *small* or *large* deviations from planarity.

In any event, go back to what Amber or gaff suggest for the magnitudes of
these terms. They have been calibrated against vibrational frequencies of the
out-of-plane modes. It is possible that minor adjustments might be needed (the
original values were determined 30 years ago), but such changes would almost
certainly be minor ones.
