Dear Amber Users,

Am trying a simulate a protein+nucleic acid complex. I would like to
restrain distance between atoms of interest at particular distance
geometry for few ns in production run itself (sought of guided
simulation) and then do a free simulation. But am not sure of the
force constant to use for restraining the atoms mentioned in list
rst.dist (in my case). Pls. find below my input files.

I would like to know What is ideal range for 1) restraint_wt and 2)
rk2 and rk3. Request to offer your insights and see if am going right.

Appreciate your time and help.

Thanks
Regards
