Re: AMBER: replicas trapped in a few low temperatures

have you compared the overlap of potential energy distributions for
the temperatures? perhaps your spacing is not correct and the energy gap
is too large for successful exchange.

After that, this replica seems to be trapped in a few, maybe two or three, low temperatures, with a high "back exchange" frequency.
