Dear Amber users,
I am using a a subunit of a protein can form a homodimer or heterodimer. I
want to characterize the flexibility of its N-terminal and C-terminal
domains.
My problem is The RMSD during equilibration phase increases approx.
linearly, which may indicate unfolding of the protein . I ran equilibration
for 1 ns. Please, any one has sugestions.
The potocol of heating is
&cntrl
 imin = 0, irest = 0,
 ntb = 1, ntx = 1,
 cut = 10, ntr = 0,
 ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
 tempi= 0.0, temp0 = 298.0,
 ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0, ntp = 0,
 nstlim = 100000, dt = 0.002,
 ntpr = 500, ntwr = 500,
 ntwx = 500,
 /
 Keep solute fixed with weak restraint
 500.0
 RES 1 181
 END
 END

The protocol for equilibration is
&cntrl
 imin = 0, irest = 1,
 ntb = 2, ntx = 5,
 cut = 10, ntr = 0,
 ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
 temp0 = 298.0,
 ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0, ntp = 1,
 nstlim = 100000, dt = 0.002,
 ntpr = 500, ntwr = 500,
 ntwx = 500,
 &END

All the best
Ibrahim
