Re: [AMBER] NMR restraint ?

there are really two issues here:

1) not having restraints in step 2. I think you should diff the input files
and make sure the only differences are the ones you want. the IISTIN might
me a problem in step 2, try fixing that.

2) you are NOT doing what the community would consider "heating". you are
assigning initial velocities at 1 temperature (tempi) and immediately
setting the thermostat to a higher temperature. especially with ntt=3, this
system temperature will reach temp0 very quickly. so this is not what would
be considered "heating" in the sense of gradual heating during and
equilibration. certainly if you said in a paper that you heated the system
over the course of this run it would not be correct. check the temperature
of the system as reported in the mdout file- it will not be gradual heating.
to do that, you need to slowly change the thermostat itself (temp0) in the
weight change section of your restraints (%wt).
