Jerry,
There is an option for temperature "ramping" during MD to control the rate
of temp. increase/decrease, e.g. for simulated annealing. The flag is
NMROPT=1, and you can find some examples in the tutorials on the AMBER web
site (
http://amber.ch.ic.ac.uk/tutorial/). Though I have not tried this at
temps. as high as 373K, it does work to hold the temp. constant as well as
to change it. I can send an input file later if necessary but I hope the
tutorial helps on this. Good luck!
