Problem in minimizing protein/bilayer system was created by abhinavsri89
Hi Martini Users,

I am trying to run a CG simulation for a protein bilayer system.
Following are the steps which I opted:

1). Converting the all atom structure of protein to CG structure using the following

python3 martinize.py -f 7kjr.pdb -o PROTEIN-TOPOLOGY.top -x 7kjr-CG.pdb -dssp /usr/bin/mkdssp -p backbone -ff martini22

2). Generating the protein/bilayer/cholesterol system using the following

python2 insane.py -f 7kjr-CG.pdb -l DPPC:1 -l DIPC:1 -l CHOL:1 -sol W -ring -d 5 -dz 10 -dm -12 -o SARS-COV-2-RES-BILAYER-SYSTEM.gro -p SARS-COV-2-RES-BILAYER-SYSTEM.top

When I try to run simulation using martini mdp file, I get the following error:
Fatal error:
There are inconsistent shifts over periodic boundaries in a molecule type
consisting of 8 atoms. The longest distance involved in such interactions is
9.153 nm which is above half the box length. This molecule type consists of
muliple parts, e.g. monomers, that are connected by interactions that are not
chemical bonds, e.g. restraints. Such systems can not be treated. The only
solution is increasing the box size.

Following is the martini mdp file parameters which I am using

It will be very great if anyone can help.

Thanks in advance !
