Re: AMBER: hydrogens are flying in replica exchange simulations

that is very surprising- you might want to run the same inputs but set rem=0
and remove numexchg (just normal MD) and see if you have the same
problem. I can't imagine why REMD would allow the hydrogens to move so far.
what are your energies like in the out files?

as a note, your termini are unusual... are you sure that's what you want?
