I have performed minimization of ubiquitin in vaccum both in

the energy values for first step ,i found that variation in the

In GROMACS, that energy is based on the result of the first EM step.
To do a "single-point" energy calculation, do a zero-step MD run, or
use mdrun -rerun.<br>

It seems clear that you have a difference in the .psf and .top
topologies you are generating, so any further comparison is not
profitable.<br>

Though the number of atoms are same ,i did not understand why
there is variation in number of bonds,angles and dihedrals leading
to difference in energy values. <br>
where i have calculated the coloumbic energy and LJ energy from
log file of GROMACS by adding up short range,long range and 14 <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://terms.is">terms.is</a> it
the correct way of calculating the total coloumbic and LJ energies
to compare them with NAMD coloumbic and LJ values.<br>

You will have to read the documentation for each code carefully in
order to do calculations that compute the same things. There are
lots of details you will have to get exactly right.<br>
