Dear Jason, and Amber users.


...........

Thank you again for pointing that. I'll try with cutoff value larger
than 8 A


...........

I think I'm using polarizable force field, ff02 force field.
To say exactly, I excuted xleap with (leaprc.ff02polEP.r1) file and
saved the prmtop and inpcrd file with (saveAmberParmPol) command.

I thought (ipol = 1) should be mentioned in input file, since I read
(Use saveAmberParmPol to save the prmtop file, and set ipol=1 in the
sander input file) from the AmberTools12 manual...

I'm using Amber11. What is the "current version" that you mentioned?


...........

The polarizable force field might be the answer for this problem.

Today I did same simulation, but using TIP3P model with ff99SB force
field.
Since it is not polarizable, I wrote (ipol = 0) in input file.
Actually this was the only difference in input file.

And surprisingly, THE PROBLEM; CONFIGURATION JUMP DIDN'T HAPPEN!!

But still I don't get it.
Is there a problem applying the polarizable force field? or POL3 water
model?



* The reason that I'm using polarizable force field is, I want to use
POL3 water model (which is polarizable) in my simulation.

* I installed AmberTools14, to use CPPTRAJ program with (autoimage)
command.
Still, however, I'm using Amber11 and old version of Ambertools for MD
simulations.


...........

Any suggestion or comments would be very appreciated.

With many thanks in advance,

yjLEE
