Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad that someone is going to help me.
I worked on REMD of the protein at *neutral pH *with following equilibration
input:
Equilibration
 &cntrl
   irest=0, ntx=1,
   nstlim=1000000, dt=0.002, nrespa=2,
   irest=0, ntt=3, gamma_ln=2.0,
   temp0=XXXXX, ig=RANDOM_NUMBER,
   ntc=2, ntf=2,
   ntb=0, igb=5,
   cut=16, rgbmax=16, saltcon=0.2, gbsa=1,
   ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwe=500
 /
 &wt TYPE='END'
 /
DISANG=uhprp_chir.dat

After the equilibration, I worked on REMD with following input:

REMD 2ns
 &cntrl
   irest=1, ntx=5,
   nstlim=1000000, dt=0.002,
   ntt=3, gamma_ln=2.0,
   temp0=XXXXX, ig=RANDOM_NUMBER,
   ntc=2, ntf=2, nscm=1000,
   ntb=0, igb=5,
   cut=16, rgbmax=16, saltcon=0.2, gbsa=1,
   ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwe=500,
   nmropt=1,
   numexchg=1000,
 /
 &wt TYPE='END'
 /
DISANG=uhprp_chir.dat

The above inputs worked fine (except that my computer facility can't finish
2ns of REMD in one job. I'll resume the job with 0.2ns).

At the same time, I tried to setup REMD with the same protein but at *acidic
* condition. Therefore, I changed ASP, GLU and HIS/HIE to ASH, GLH and HIP,
respectively. I repeat the parameters used for neutral pH to run
equilibration and REMD. Equilibration was completed as following (adopted
from one of the mdinfo):

 NSTEP = 1000000 TIME(PS) = 2000.000 TEMP(K) = 315.34 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = -846.5296 EKtot = 1347.8953 EPtot =
-2194.4249
 BOND = 363.4372 ANGLE = 974.8036 DIHED =
1190.5679
 1-4 NB = 374.7025 1-4 EEL = 2904.1595 VDWAALS =
-569.1035
 EELEC = -5289.7655 EGB = -2202.5385 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 ESURF= 59.3120

After the equilibration, my REMD was stocked with following (adopted from
one of the mdout):
   4. RESULTS

REMD: Initializing remlog.

What shall I do to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot for the help!
