Re: [AMBER] problem running MD for diphosphoric acid anion

Do you have a successful run previously where you warmed up your system
to 600K? I would try setting ntpr and ntwx to 1 and look at the result.
Apparently the bond between atoms 1 and 2 is being stressed too much.
You may need a shorter time step for such a high temperature.
