Dear Amber users,
I am running a molecular dynamics simulation on a protein:DNA
complex in a water box using PME and periodic boundary conditions,
but with sander_classic rather than the new sander. After ~10 ps
of production MD at 300K (the system was first ramped up from
5K->300K with nmropt), the solute migrates toward the edge of the box
and the DNA strands dissociate from each other, eventually ending up
more than 40A apart.
This may be an imaging problem, but I would very much appreciate any
suggestions. Here is my input file, and I can send an output PDB file
as an attachment if necessary.
