Dear all,
I am trying to run membrane protein simulations, but can't minimize
successfully. I did combine the protein with the membrane, add water and
counter ions. Here is an extract of the outcome

The high vdw number is probably due to clashes between atoms, but the
PRESSURE and GPRESSURE lines are ununderstandable to me. The script
looks like

Any help will be greatly appreciate.
