Dear Case:

Thanks for your reply, and apologize for the unclear mail I send, My system
is compsed of Protein (res number 1 582), Graphene (res number 583 605) and
counterion and water.

I am doing simulaiton as following step:

1, minimization of the system:
 &cntrl
  imin = 1, maxcyc = 2500, ncyc = 1000, ntb = 1, ntr = 1,
  cut = 10,
 /
Hold the protein and graphen sheet fixed
500.0
RES 1 605
END
END

2. Heating the system to 360K:
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 0, ntx = 1, ntp = 0, ntb = 1,
cut = 10,
  ibelly = 1,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tempi = 0.0, temp0 = 360.0,
  ntt = 2, (ibelly does not work with ntt=3,)
  gamma_ln = 1.0, nstlim = 10000, dt = 0.002, ntpr = 250, ntwx = 250,
ntwr = 10000,
  iwrap = 1, ioutfm=1, nscm = 100, /

Keep protein and Graphen sheet fiexed with ibelly
RES 1 605
END
END

3. 1ns MD simulation at 360K ;
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 1, ntx = 5, ntb = 2, pres0 = 1.0, ntp = 1, taup =
2.0, cut = 10,
 ibelly = 1,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tempi = 360.0, temp0 = 360.0,
  ntt = 2,
gamma_ln = 1.0, nstlim = 500000, dt = 0.002, ntpr = 250, ntwx = 250, ntwr
= 10000,
  nscm = 100, ioutfm = 1, iwrap=1,
 /
Keep protein and Graphen sheet fiexed with ibelly
RES 1 605
END
END

4. cooling the system to 300k ;
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 1, ntx = 5, ntp = 0, ntb = 1,
cut = 10,
  ibelly = 1,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tempi = 360.0, temp0 = 300.0,
  ntt = 2,
  gamma_ln = 1.0, nstlim = 100000, dt = 0.002, ntpr = 250, ntwx = 250,
ntwr = 10000,
  iwrap = 1, ioutfm=1, nscm = 100,
 /
Keep protein and Graphen sheet fiexed with ibelly
RES 1 605
END
END

5. MD production run at 300k ;
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 1, ntx = 5, ntb = 2, pres0 = 1.0, ntp = 1, taup =
2.0,
  cut = 10,
  ntr = 0,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0,
 ntt = 2,
 gamma_ln = 1.0,
  nstlim = 500000, dt = 0.002, ntpr = 250, ntwx = 250, ntwr = 10000,
  nscm = 100, ioutfm = 1, iwrap=1,
 /
Keep graphene sheet fixed with ibelly
RES 583 605
END
END

After I read the ambermail list of ibelly question, like, not work with
ntt=3, pememd not work, I think the above control should run normally.

While I still got a problem here, when I heat the system, How to just put a
weak restrain force on protein , while keep graphene sheet ibelly
constrain, Since ntr=1, and ibelly=1 can not be used at the same time.

THanks.
