Hi All,
like Amber tutorial A7, I tried to carry out REMD simulation in Amber 11 (as it's specified, tutorial should also work with this version). In '' mdout '' files I noticed that '' EPtot '' values for the last step of MD before swapping were different from '' myEptot '' ones used to calculate the exchange probability and it looks inconsistent.
So I made at once Amber tests to check software compilation for accuracy and they have been passed; furthermore the same tutorial was tried in Amber 10 and no mismatches between these values were found.
Can I use Amber 11 to simulate my system anyway or do you think Amber 10 would work better?
Fragments of the 2 '' mdout '' files for the first replica are wrote out below as you can check '' EPtot '' and '' myEptot '' values on your own:
