Thanks Hai,
I am using the correct force field, gb and radii combination. Amber
passed the tests as well. I just need to install the recent updates.
I think the root of my problems is either my equilibration step or small
rgbmax i have been using. I have been using 12 mainly to be able to run
faster. I will check how much difference it makes and simulate with a
larger rgbmax and equilibrate as described in the paper you mentioned.
Thanks!
Nihal
