Hello,
I am going to be not much help here, as I've never encountered this problem
- haven't run any RNA simulations with 5'phosphates!
Dave's suggestions all seem logical to me.
After determining that this is your problem, I'd first try adding LJ
parameters to the hydrogen, then looking at the monophosphate.lib
parameters, and finally just taking the timing hit and run without hydrogen
mass partitioning at 2 fs and see how it goes (I'd probably submit this
first and then work on the other two, just because it's already
minimized/equilibrated and you'd only have to change the input file).
Good luck, sorry there are no clear answers here :-/
