dac,
you were right, i was trying to refine using all 20 structures from cyana. i did it again with one structure and it works fine. I do have a couple questions regarding the simulated annealing for the NMR refinement:
1) the tutorial has the heating up phase going up to 600K for the DNA complex, is this normal, even for proteins?
2) the penalties of NMR refinment are printed in kcal/mol, is there a standard for how big a penalty should be before you consider taking that constraint out?
Thanks
Andrew

I suspect that something is quite wrong with the structure, not just a few
vdW clashes. Have you visualized the input structure? Does it all look
OK? Finding way too many nonbonded contacts suggests that Amber thinks
there are all kinds of atoms really close to each other, way outside the
normal range one would have for a reasonable structure. Make sure the
coordinates are really being read in correctly.
