My guess is that there is something wrong with either the molecule geometry or the parameters used for the simulation. Check the log file to identify which energy term (bonds, angles, etc.) is larger than normal and investigate the possible source for that. Also view the molecule in VMD.

Subject: tutorial-l: a question about small molecule

Hi, everyone. I am a new user of NAMD. When I use NAMD to do a minimization on a small molecule, its potential energy becomes to 99999999.9999 kcal/mol and cannot be reduced. Could you tell what I should do to figure it out? Thanks for your patience! Any suggestions are appreciated!
