Re: [AMBER] [Sender Not Verified] Problems with minimization energy NaN

Hi Sinjini,

your VDW and 1-4 VDW energies are NaN but the BOND ANGLE and DIHEDRAL ones
are very high, too. Are you absolutely sure that no clashes remain in your
starting structure and that you set the box sizes correctly? How did you do
that checking, would leap for example give you atom distance warnings?

Kind Regards,

Thomas
