Drs. Simmerling and Crowley:
Thank you for your advice.
I tried the MD without restraints and with different force constant. It looks
that distance restraint is fine but backbone restaint causes the problem. Even
with the force constant 0.5 kcal/mol-A^2, the temp. will increse to 340K from
300K. So if I want to fix the backbone during MD, what can I do?
Thanks a lot!
