Re: AMBER: const-P MD at high T

then you might want to keep the volume from 300K and increase the T.
you might want to try something not too high, though, like 350K or 400K.
At 600K, you'll have to consider things like reducing the integration
time step, putting restraints on peptide bonds and chirality, and so on.
those
will cause problems even at constant volume.
