How do you know that this is "not accurate"? Have you compared results from
Amber to other programs, such as Delphi or MEAD? A lot depends on how large
the net charge is. Also, it is easier to spot problems in the gas -> liquid
solvation energy than in total energies-- remember that the zero of energy in
molecular mechanics is rather arbitrary.
There may still be a problem with the code, but one would need more
information to be sure.
