Dear Expert,
I came across the following error during the equilibration of my protein
ligand system which has a CL atom (in ligand). I prepared the system using
CHARMMGUI
ERROR: Atom 4737 velocity is -11982.1 12908.1 -3406.91 (limit is 12000,
atom 983 of 1008 on patch 17 pe 1)
ERROR: Atoms moving too fast; simulation has become unstable (1 atoms on
patch 17 pe 1).
Here, the atom no. 4737 corresponds to the lone pair connected to CL atom
in the system.
I have checked the mailing list which suggested to perform the simulation
gradually from low temperature for atoms moving fast. However, I could not
find a solution for dealing with lone pairs. I keep getting the same error
regardless of the temperature.
Is there a command I need to give in the configuration file?
Please give me some advice or link to a solution.
The configuration file used during equilibration is given below.
