Dear Amber user,
I am trying to do dynamics to estimate solvation of sugar molecule in water
and ionic liquid.
I have some problem with Etot value.
The Etot value about solvation in water after equilibration is negative. But
this value about ionic liquid is positive.
Does it means that all of the molecule in the ionic liquid simulation box is
unstable? If yes, how can I get more stable value.

Attached files are the min.in and eq1.in eq2.in that were used for
minimization and equilibration process.

Ionic liquid is not standard solvent in AMBER, so I made it by using
Gaussian03-RESP and GAFF. And then 2-equilibration step were used before
production run.


WATER + GLUCOSE (minimization step + constant volume(gradually heating up at
300K for 200ps) + constant pressure(1bar for 500ps)

Ionic liquid(1-ehtyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethylsulfonate) + Glucose

(First, Making a solvent box then, 2-step equilibration(same as above) ->
put the glucose molecule -> minimization -> 2-step equilibration(same as
above)
