Dear all,I have tried to run minimization of apo protein. I have prepared topology files using ff14SB force field (amber14). Before running minimization, I checked my structure using cpptraj checkoverlap command to see if atoms are close to other atoms. I have found that protein contain some bad contact because leap added missing atoms then I started running minimization. I got the following error message. Sander runs for few cycles of minimization and stops with following error message (below)> minimization.inrestrain_min
 &cntrl
  imin   = 1,
  maxcyc = 500,
  ntpr   = 1,
  ntb    = 1,
  cut    = 10.0
 /
Hold the system fixed
25.0
RES 1 541
END
END

> "ERROR MESSAGE"
Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.Backtrace for this error:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
then I tried to minimize the same apo protein (with bad contact) via amber12 using ff99SB, minimization run perfectly with out any error message and I have completed all step then check structure again using cpptraj command. I found that after minimzation structure is fine (without any bad contacts). I used the following script for minimization,
>Minimization Amber12
 &cntrl
 imin=1, maxcyc=1000, ntmin = 2,
 ntx = 1, ntc = 1, ntf = 1,
 ntb = 1, ntp = 0, ncyc = 100,
 ntwx = 1000, ntwe = 0, ntpr = 1000,
 ntr = 1, cut = 10.0
 &end
Restraints
 25.0
RES 1 541
END
END
I want to know that why amber14 minimization failed while amber12 completed all minimization steps without any error message.
Thank you.
