Dear Carlos

Good evening...

I load final structures to chimera, there with the option find clashes and
contact (based on vDW) I found these problem. For the moment I have used
default values to
check the clashes and contact.

When I implemented the force-field I used non standard protocol where I am
sure geometry of the block is not 100% optimized. Adding charge I used
AM1-BCC method instead of RESP. Its true force-filed also causing problem.

I will give a try to see my MD data

thanks a lot fro your suggestion..

Have a nice day!!!
Vince
