Many thanks. I have repeated simulations with iwrap=0 in the past and just
now, but the issue remains the same:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/13cgyo3legiimlc/Gamd_err1.png?dl=0

Suddenly, two ligands start distorting within a few hundred steps, and I
still do not understand what's going wrong. cMD works fine, and I am
starting these game simulations using the restart file from 1-microsecond
cMD in pmemd.cuda. I have also tried up to 100ns cMD using CPU code and
then restarting gamd but the issue remains the same.

Do you think there is any mistake I am making with the MD input setting?
