Hi Hannes,

The previous e-mail was too big to post on the mailing list; it wouldn't let me.

Hmmm, the minimization seems to be doing the trick, although there aren't any clashes in my starting structures. Also, at lamda = 1 BOTH ligands would become completely distorted although at that lambda value the template isn't interacting with its environment at all. Also, even if there were clashes between the modeled ligand and any water molecules and/or ions, it wouldn't cause the whole molecule to become completely distorted and keep twisting and deforming throughout the whole run, let alone affect the template ligand at lambda = 1.

I've run 2000 steps of minimization on similar structures and I've had similar problems so I'm not sure if this is a general solution or works just in this particular case. I'm not really sure what's going on here.

In any event, thank you so much for your time and help. They are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Please keep this on the mailing list.

You need to minimise your structure to remove the large vdW
interactions you have at step 0 probably because of close waters in
the setup step. I still think you need to switch on SHAKE for the
water model you are using. Also consider a NPT run before production
to adjust the density.
