Dear Yandong,
Without knowing any specific details about your protein or the system
setup, it's hard to diagnose what might be going wrong though. If you
supply the list with more details, perhaps we could be of better
service.
With that in mind, one thing that might be something to look at is the
force-field you're using. I know that I've run into problems using the
straight Charmm22 force-field for a large protein once I got out to
the 20-40ns range, although my protein did not fall apart to the
extent that yours seems to be. Using the Charmm22 with the CMAP
corrections seemed to result in more stable simulations for my system
at least. I've also had decent success with the Amber ff99SB force-
field as well.
