Thanks again,

however, I still think there is a mistake in my topology file

ERROR: Atom 30713 velocity is -10774.3 -15343.8 13.7328 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atom 30714 velocity is 8091.21 11521.1 -18.2863 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atoms moving too fast; simulation has become unstable.
ERROR: Atom 30710 velocity is -6387.76 -16834.9 -6212.12 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atom 30711 velocity is 4798.22 12633.7 4668.04 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atom 30718 velocity is -6388.21 -16829.8 -6213.13 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atom 30719 velocity is 4790.47 12633 4662.15 (limit is 6000)
ERROR: Atoms moving too fast; simulation has become unstable.

This corresponds to
ATOM 30710 CM2 MUT U 71 -13.636 -3.061 10.245 1.00 0.00 U1 C
ATOM 30711 OM1 MUT U 71 -13.227 -1.983 10.643 1.00 0.00 U1 O
ATOM 30713 C MUT U 71 -12.339 -3.219 6.007 1.00 0.00 U1 C
ATOM 30714 O MUT U 71 -11.625 -2.202 6.006 1.00 0.00 U1 O
ATOM 30718 CD MUT U 71 -13.636 -3.061 10.245 1.00 0.00 U1 C
ATOM 30719 OE1 MUT U 71 -13.227 -1.983 10.643 1.00 0.00 U1 O

This problem suggests that these atoms are clashing and overlapping, which they of course are (it is a mutated pdb file after all).
However, I have amended the psf file with Alchemify to create exclusion pairs that should prevent this from happening.

Any ideas on what I could do?

Thanks
Christian

Hi Christian,

Besides a few unnecessary lines, nothing strikes me as wrong in the
topology. Can you send me (off-list) your PSF and PDB files?
