Dear all

we are running a MD simulation on a protein-drug complex in a rectangular water box, the complex was minimized with periodic boundaries.

The starting energy is  7.1251E+10  and the final energy after minimization is -2.3292E+05
The initial structure and the minimized structure has 0.58 ang deviation.

unfortunately vmd does not read the mdcrd files generated after Heating (file size:140MB) and Equilibration (file size 818MB) and when we try opening mdcrd files using text editor error is "too much binary data".

However when we convert the rst files to pdb, visualization is successful and the structure seems to be fine.

LIST OF INPUTS
1) minimization:
Minimization to relax initial bad contacts, explicit solvent

   restraint_wt=10.0,
 /

2) Heat:

3) Equilibration:

I would appreciate your comments on the issue.
