Re: [AMBER] Minimization fails when switching from steepest descent to conjugate gradient

While he BOND energy is concerning, I'd resolve the van der Waals term first

In my experience, when you see energies outside the display bounds *****.

  BOND = 258342.4685 ANGLE = 1028.6606 DIHED = 3160.9109
  VDWAALS = ************* <<<!!!

on step 1, the next geometry is exploded far away from the start coordinates (along the few bad contacts) - and things go from bad to worse for step 2.

Good luck.

Chris
