Hi all,

I think I found the culplrit. It was not overlaps but a mess up in the vdw term of a non-standard residue, the parameters of which I imported from CHARMM. All good now, the minimization works :)

Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

Hi, I am trying to minimise a protein-membrane system using sander and pmemd in Amber20. However, the calculation keep crashing in the first cycle with the following error:


NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
      1 NaN NaN 1.0669E+24 C19 90066

 BOND = 31692.7352 ANGLE = 68711.0955 DIHED = 59597.8979
 VDWAALS = NaN EEL = -12389.2862 HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = NaN 1-4 EEL = -149672.0786 RESTRAINT = 0.0000



This is my initial input:

Minimize
 System minimization:
&cntrl
   imin=1, ntmin=1, nmropt=0
   maxcyc=2000, ncyc=1000,
   ntx=1, irest=0,
   ntpr=100, ntwr=100, iwrap=0,
   ntf=1, ntb=1, cut=10.0, nsnb=20,
   igb=0,
   ibelly=0, ntr=1,
   restraintmask=“.CA", restraint_wt=20.0,
&end
 /


I added the membrane using packmol-memgen.
The system size is huge and I checked and removed clashes in the protein and the non-standard residues.
Can you please tell me what is the problem and how can I solve this? Is it an issue with the parameters or the structure?


Many thanks,
