Hello all

I am doing constant pH simulation using Amber10.
For this
1) I have minimize protein:
   a)using restraint on backbone with force constant 500.0
   b)whole sytem with restraint

2)Heating of system for 300ps with temperature increment 1K/1ps,during heating
here i have used tol=.00001 though in manual for constant pH simulation it
is tol=.000001. Actualy I have done it by mistake.Here I restraint backbone with
foce constant 10.0 .

Here is my input file:
     imin=0,
     irest=0,ntx=1,ntb=0,cut=30,
     ntpr=200,ntwx=200,ntwr=500,
     igb=2,ntc=2,ntf=2,nrespa=1,tautp=2.0,
     nstlim=150000,dt=.002,ntr=1,
     ntt=1,tempi=0,temp0=300,nmropt=1,
     scee=1.2,saltcon=0.1,tol=0.00001,vlimit=15,
     icnstph=1,solvph=4,ntcnstph=5
&end
&wt
type='TEMP0', istep1=0, istep2=10000, value1=0, value2=20,
 &end
 &wt
 type='TEMP0', istep1=10001, istep2=20000, value1=20, value2=40,
 &end
 &wt ...........

type='END'
 /
Hold only backbone atom fixed
10.0

END
END



3)Equilibration for 300ps using restraint on backbone with force constant 1.0
this time I use tol=.000001 then I got following error:

vlimit exceeded for step 78066; vmax = 321.8661
vlimit exceeded for step 78067; vmax = 24.5430
vlimit exceeded for step 78082; vmax = 399.2392

     Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,
     deviation is too large
     NITER, NIT, LL, I and J are : 0 5 2 19 21

     Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
     problem with the energetics of the system.

But when I chage it to tol=.00001 it run upto 300ps


4)In production run again I have use tol=.00001 it stop with following error :

vlimit exceeded for step 262668; vmax = 111.4422
vlimit exceeded for step 262669; vmax = 25.1137
vlimit exceeded for step 262699; vmax = 1960.5580

     Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,
     deviation is too large
     NITER, NIT, LL, I and J are : 0 2 2 19 21

     Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
     problem with the energetics of the system.


Here is the input file:
     imin=0,
     irest=1,ntx=7,ntb=0,cut=30,
     ntpr=200,ntwx=200,ntwr=500,
     igb=2,ntc=2,ntf=2,nrespa=1,tautp=2.0,
     nstlim=150000,dt=.002,
     ntt=1,tempi=300,temp0=300,
     scee=1.2,saltcon=0.1,tol=0.00001,vlimit=15,
     icnstph=1,solvph=4,ntcnstph=5
     /


Where is the problem I am not getting so can anybody suggest me
