[AMBER] NMR distance restrains

Dear amber users

I am running a 10ns MD with pmemd.MPI.
Since i wanted to restrain 2 distances (protein-ligand distances), I used a distance restr file obtained using makeDIST_RST.

The MD input file is:

 &cntrl
  imin=0,
  irest=1,
  ig=-1,
  ntx=7,
  ntb=2,
  ntp=1,
  taup=2.0,
  igb=0,
  ntr=0, nmropt=1,
  tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=1.0,
  ntc=2,
  ntf=2,
  cut=12.0,
  nstlim=5000000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwr=1000
 /
 &wt type='END' /
LISTOUT=POUT
DISANG= RST.dist


Where RST.dist is:

#
# 83 GLU O 247 D6A N6 4.0
 &rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat=1273,3839, r1= 1.30, r2= 1.80, r3= 4.00, r4= 4.50,
      rk2=20.0, rk3=20.0, ir6=1, ialtd=0,
 &end
#
# 85 VAL N 247 D6A N1 4.0
 &rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat=1295,3840, r1= 1.30, r2= 1.80, r3= 4.00, r4= 4.50, &end

Then I analyzed the output file.

In the output file is written:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   3. ATOMIC COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

default_name
 begin time read from input coords = 505.000 ps



           Begin reading energy term weight changes/NMR restraints
 WEIGHT CHANGES:
                         ** No weight changes given **

 RESTRAINTS:
 Requested file redirections:
  LISTOUT = POUT
  DISANG = RST.dist
 Restraints will be read from file: RST.dist
Here are comments from the DISANG input file:
#
# 83 GLU O 247 D6A N6 4.0

                       Number of restraints read = 2

                  Done reading weight changes/NMR restraints



 Number of triangulated 3-point waters found: 8190

     Sum of charges from parm topology file = 0.00099988
     Forcing neutrality...

| Dynamic Memory, Types Used:
| Reals 2399203
| Integers 1188455

| Nonbonded Pairs Initial Allocation: 1102140

| Running AMBER/MPI version on 32 nodes

Thus, restraints are read from the RST.dist file.

But at each step I got this message:

 NSTEP = 64000 TIME(PS) = 633.000 TEMP(K) = 301.40 PRESS = 140.5
 Etot = -68685.3858 EKtot = 17601.5660 EPtot = -86286.9518
 BOND = 759.0329 ANGLE = 2074.7195 DIHED = 2572.5908
 1-4 NB = 912.0684 1-4 EEL = 8829.6357 VDWAALS = 9464.7219
 EELEC = -110899.7210 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EKCMT = 7327.9249 VIRIAL = 6471.9218 VOLUME = 282215.6694
                                                    Density = 1.0292
 Ewald error estimate: 0.1064E-03
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 NMR restraints: Bond = 0.000 Angle = 0.000 Torsion = 0.000
===============================================================================


Should not be Bond = something diverse from 0.000 (since I am using distance constraints) ? Is amber not take into account the distance restraints?

Can someone help me to understand what is happening?

Cheers
Valentina
