Re: [AMBER] Error in reordering pH-REMD trajectories

Actually, I got what happened: I calculated 2 ns pH-REMD with 12 replicas,
from pH 1 to pH 12. Then, due to a reduced available walltime, I decided to
restrict my calculations to pH range 3-8 for further 20 ns, so I took the
cpin newly created by the 2 ns trajectories step as input. Unfortunately, I
didn't notice that the replicas pH values were 1 2 7 8 10 and 11.
But honestly I thought that, since I had specified the pH in the mdin, the
pH value would be adjusted to values between 3 and 8..
So what I have now is replicas with pH values equal to 1 2 7 8 10 and 11,
right? And..the keyword "solvph" in the mdin is pretty useless, isn't it?
