Dear Sir,
I have an other issue that has cropped up when I tried to simulate 227d.pdb.
I was trying to simulate 227d.pdb with the following parameters: there are no constraints involved. I ran the 50 ps simulation with a 10fs time step, temp remaining constant at 300K. By default my ntx=7 and irest=1. My .rst file used was the result got through my previous simulation.
My problem is that the .rst file isnt being generated , only the .mdcrd and the .out files got generated and the .mdcrd files had nothing written on it.
The error in the .out file showed in the results section...
the error read:--- Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,
deviation is too large
NITER, NIT, LL, I and J are : 0 2 5 19 21
Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
problem with the energetics of the system.
I would be highly obliged if somebody could solve this problem of mine.
thank you
Aravind

Subject: Re: [AMBER] .rst file generation problem.
when restarting after minimization you need to set ntx=1 and irest=0 in your
mdin file.
there are no velocities in minimization so the next step cannot read them.
