Hi Brian (and all),
Thanks for the info.
So, just to be sure that I understood you correctly: if I run a TI simulation asking for jfastw=0 (by default), ntc=1 and ntf=1, do you mean that "sander" automatically recognises TIP3P water molecules as RIGID ones by default and does the calculation SHAKEing the solvent but not the solute? Because this is the case I am interested in.
Kepa K.

Asunto: Re: [AMBER] TI Softcore potentials and SHAKE
Hi Kepa,
Three point solvent molecules are identified in the prmtop (and by Leap too maybe?). I believe that SETTLE and not SHAKE is used to constrain those when ntc > 1 and jfastw = 0 (default). If you set jfastw = 4 then normal SHAKE is used. I think you can only get away with ntf > 1 when all bonds/angles/dihedrals are constrained (i.e. when not using noshakemask).
Regards,
Brian

The NVT equilibration includes a heating slope of 100ps. followed by 200ps. at 298 K, (all in the same simulation step). I am using lambdas from 0 to 1 in growing intervals of 0.1 and a refinement at the edges (0.01; 0.05; 0.95 and 0.99).

So, the only residues under SHAKE in my system were the water molecules (the solvent).
