Re: [AMBER] problem in converting cprestrt to cpin2 file in constant pH md

Hello,

I was saying that nscm would automatically remove COM translations, so the
system translating out of bounds wouldn't happen. This would only happen if
you had 2 species that were not bonded to one another (such as mobile
ions). You should not have any mobile ions in implicit solvent
calculations, anyway (only ions that are chemically relevant). You can use
saltcon to simulate the effects of mobile ions.

You should be able to figure out which atom is straying out of bounds based
on its location in the restart file. This will let you know where your
problem is. However, you should take out the Na+ ions and simulate your
system without them.

Lastly, if 2 parts of your system are not bonded and are drifiting away from
one another causing this problem, you have one of 2 options: simulate them
separately if they really don't interact, or impose a restraint to prevent
them from drifting too far away.

Hope this helps,
Jason
