Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I haven't attached the picture of my
last time slice as I have mentioned in the message body. I am attaching the
image here.

With regards,

Hi,

Have checked the para that you have suggested and the solution to overcome
that problem. Thanks a lot for pointing that out (Did not meet with such a
problem in the past. Whenever I used MCPB.py, I checked upto parmed
step for the metal site parameters).

My zinc coordination site contains one ASP residue (connected to zinc
through its OD2 atom) and I think one H atom of the added water involving
some interactions with that OD2 atom of ASP (attaching the reference image
where my simulation met with the problem during heating).

Going through the solutions, I have some queries that need to be clarified.
For my case, do I have to put the harmonic restraints only on the added
water or on both the ASP residue and the added water? Do I have to treat
all the bonded residues in a nonbonded way? Your help is much appreciated.

With regards,
Satyajit Khatua

And you can find the corresponding solution in that paragraph as well.
