Hello,
I think your problem lies in the use of coordinate restraints with hybrid
REMD. One of the steps that hybrid REMD has to do is reimage all of the
water molecules and place it at the location of its closest periodic image
since GB methods are inherently non-periodic and know nothing about
alternate images.
One of the things done in "subroutine stripwat" in remd.f is the centering
of the entire system with respect to its center of mass. The reason I think
you are having issues is that the coordinates are adjusted by the center of
mass position, but the reference coordinates are never adjusted.
I'm not positive this will work, but I included a patch which will adjust
the reference coordinates in exactly the same way as the normal
coordinates. Apply it to the latest, fully patched amber11 from AMBERHOME.
cd $AMBERHOME
patch -p0 -N < hybrid_remd.patch
Then recompile. Also please report back whether it worked or not. One
other thing to try that probably should've been mentioned before is testing
to see that it worked if you don't include restraints, just to make sure
that it is in fact the restraints that are causing the issue.
Hope this helps,
Jason
