Dear Amber users,

I am working with simulation of protein which bound to Inositiol-1,4,5-
triphosphate (IP3). I have derived the IP3 force field parameters using
antechamber and ESP charges from QM calculations using Gaussian 09.
Unfortunately, I failed with the very first in-vacuum minimization itself.
The portion of minimization steps are shown below.

 The system has extended beyond
     the extent of the virtual box.
 Restarting sander will recalculate
    a new virtual box with 30 Angstroms
    extra on each side, if there is a
    restart file for this configuration.
 SANDER BOMB in subroutine Routine: map_coords (ew_force.f)
 Atom out of bounds. If a restart has been written,
 restarting should resolve the error
******************************************************************************************

I have noticed that the atoms O42 and H8 got overlapped, though they look
fine in the starting structure.My trials with alternative steps by putting
restrains on atoms/molecules also failed.

Please provide your expert suggestions to get rid off these issues.


Many thanks in advance

Anu
