Dear Amber users!

In this topic I would like to talk about information obtained from the
amd.log concerning the reasonability of the values of boost potentials
applied to my system. In other words I'd like to learn how to make
reasonable conclusions about valibility of amd simulation from the log
data. For instance for my case I'm simulating protein in explicit water
with the task to refine its loops appling position restraints on part of
the protein (which I'd like to keep unchanged). Firstly I've performed cMD
with no restraints to obtain all values needed to compute boost and alpha
according to the impirical formuli presented in manual. Then I run 2 boost
aMD with applied of the position restraints on the bigger part of the
protein and see amd.log. Below you can see fragment of amd.log according
to its last column (dUdihe) dihedral boost during my simulation was only
around 10Kcal/mol on each step. I wounder if the dihe boost of this value
have been applied to the whole protein (including its restrained parts) or
only to its unrestrained (in my case loops) parts? What the reasonable
dUdihe should be expected in principle for the simulation of protein
consisted of ~ 300 amino acids? I guess that this value should be nuch
biger than several Kcal/ mol to obtain better sampling.
