[AMBER] Error in equilibration steps after minimization

Dear all,

I am preparing a RNA system for MD simulation. The system consists of 2
modified RNA residues which are defined by Aduri et al.


The protocol consists of 1. prior minimization 2.Equilibration 3.
Minimization 4. Production MD

I am getting a problem after the 1st minimization step when i try to go for
equilibration commands. The job get abnormally terminated. Also, i checked
the output PDB of the rst file which shows distorted residues.

The mdout file shows something like this:
















* NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS =
-6863.0 Etot = -85749.1605 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot =
-85749.1605 BOND = 41.7370 ANGLE = 283.5417 DIHED
= 717.1987 1-4 NB = 316.9032 1-4 EEL = -2462.2275
VDWAALS = 11458.8455 EELEC = -96105.1590 EHBOND =
0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000 EKCMT = 0.0000 VIRIAL =

0.1272E-03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Coordinate
resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,deviation is too largeNITER, NIT,
LL, I and J are : 0 2 38 117 118 Note: This is
usually a symptom of some deeper problem with the energetics of the
system.*

When i had a look into the rst file of the previous minimization run, i
found that it cannot be opened or read.

I have tried using the system on both versions of AMBER (10 and 16). The
same error persists.

I am not getting a clue into how this can happen??

Thanks in advance......
