Hello AMBER users,

I'm trying to run a simmulated annealing in vacuum using sander-classic,
in which I'm trying to apply different restraints to backbone and side
chain in a part of my protein; basically I'm trying to fix the
main-chain, while allowing more freedom to the side chains. Uding the
exmples in the section on group definitions in the manual as a guide I'm
tryin g to define the groups targeted for restrains:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simmulated annealing
 &cntrl
  imin=0, irest=0, ntx=1,
  ntt=1, tempi=0., temp0=5000., tautp=2.0,
  ntb=0, ntr=1, scee=1.2,
  ntc=2, tol=0.00001, dt=0.002, ntf=2, ntcm=1,
  nstlim=25000, ntwx=500, ntpr=500,
 &end
Fix protein backbone:
 FIND
 * * M *
 * H E *
 * O E *
 SEARCH
   100.0
 RES 101 107
END
Harmonically restrain sidechains:
 FIND
 * * S *
 * * B *
 * * 3 *
 * * E *
 SEARCH
   10.0
 ((RES 1 7) & (9 27) & (29 100))
END
Harmonically restrain sidechains:
 FIND
 * * S *
 * * B *
 * * 3 *
 * * E *
 SEARCH
   25.0
 ((RES 8) & (RES 28) & (RES 104))
END
END

--------------------------------------------------------------------

However, AMBER doesn't seem to recognize my variables in the group
definitions:

Any ideas?
