i am by far not an expert in this. i mostly relayed what i learned
from (former) people in our group that have/had extensive experience
in running peptide in lipid bilayer systems.
from what you describe it looks like some part of your system does have
overlap. when you checked in VMD, have you considered PBC? you have
to make your simulation box also large enough, but at the same time
make sure is "heals" well.
you should perhaps split your system into segments and try to minimize
each of them separately. not to use the result, but to identify where
the problematic structure lies. if all of them run well, then you can
put the system back together piece by piece and see at which segment
addition it goes haywire.
cheers,
axel.
