                    &gt; Hi,<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; I tried simulating the system again but this
                    time with 2 phsophate ion and the charge of the
                    system was neutralized by adding 6 sodium ions .
                    After minimizing , I equilibrated for 500 ps but I
                    got "LINCS" error around 300ps.&nbsp; It's happening due
                    to the addition of phosphate ions as I have
                    simulated my protein in water earlier without any
                    problem. During nvt quilibration the temperature
                    coupling settings were for Protein and Non protein
                    groups. Do I have to make groups for Protein and
                    water_ion. Please comment??<br>

                    &gt; I have tried simulating my protein (GFP)
                    solvated with water molecules and 10 phosphate ions.
                    During the md run step the system starts exploding
                    after &nbsp;500 ps. What could be the reason for this . I
                    know this is happening due to the addition of

                    ions . So, what shall I do ??<br>
