Re: AMBER: restraintmask - reference file is not working

look in the sander output- does sander recognize the restraints? does it
list the correct # of atoms matching the mask? if so, is the restraint
energy non-zero?
are the atoms shifted as a group? meaning even if they are shifted, is it
possible that the best-fit process shifts them back to perfect alignment to
refc? if so, perhaps you want a separate fit mask and rms mask.
check these, it's the important information you need to know what's going
on.
