Yes, The temperature is increasing too rapidly. I did not notice that
earlier. Thanks for pointing it out. But it was stable till 0.796 ps.
I don't know what can caused the thermostat to fail. It did not fail in the
last run of  (1 ps) the same complex (that too was QM).
One interesting point is that the erratic movement of atoms happens in the
region described in the 10A cut sphere region of QM. Rest of the protein
atoms are fine.
So I think it might be linked to QM part.
This is the active site containing domain part of a larger protein. I have
run over 500 ns with the complete protein, and it runs fine using MM.
Current complex (active site domain part) has some active site residues,
ATP, MG2+, K+ ions and catalytic water in QM region. Rest of the protein,
water and ions are treated as MM.
One thing i can try is to remove the restraints on the initial amino acids
of the protein and try this again. I will try this.
I think i should point out that I am using sander with Gaussian interface.
In case it helps.
