Thank you very much, David. I will try the suggestions.

First thing to try is to upgrade to the current version of AmberTools (not sure what you are using now), and switch to ff15ipq, which upgraded the way salt bridges and ionic interactions are represented. (See the references in the Amber 2017 Reference Manual for more info.)

ff15ipq was develped with spc/e water in mind, so that is probably the first thing to try. We now match ion parameters with water models, automatically, when you source a leaprc.water.xxxx file: see the Reference Manual for more info.

...good luck....dac
