That's because the serine residue has never been parametrized for use with
CpHMD. It has a pKa that is so high that it *very* rarely deprotonates
under physiological conditions (you can't even titrate arginine, which has
a lower pKa than serine).
There is a section in the Amber 14 manual that describes how you can
parametrize your own titratable residue if you need to.
