Re: [AMBER] deprotonation with SHAKE

Hi Antonija,

Does the prmtop define a bond to that proton? My understanding is that
SHAKE takes its constraint values from the underlying force field (which is
otherwise ignored). The only explanation I can think of off hand is that
the proton being transferred doesn't actually have a constraint on it.

Regards,
Brian
