Ok. Thanks I will see if I get an answer from someone else.
In the meantime, I run an implicit solvent minimisation for 500 steps, and 
followed by an MD for 100 ps for equilibration at T=300K. The surprise, is that 
my potential energy is huge (bond and angle terms are soo big)!! I do not know 
why is this.
This is the beginning of the output, and then some steps later:

Subject: Re: [AMBER] question about bond command
My apologies, I was thinking of ionic concentrations (which I
know something about) rather than pH (which I don't).
Hopefully someone who does know can answer your original
question.
