[AMBER] Distance restraint not working

Dear AMBER users,

I am new to AMBER usage and I am trying to learn restraints in AMBER
simulation. I made a simple run on two peptides (ACE-ALA-NME and
ACE-PRO-NME) solvated. I am trying to set up distance restraint between the
two atoms in the corresponding peptide.

Despite the setting, the trajectory showed that the restraint was not
working. Would anyone mind to point out the missing part in the input file?


 &cntrl
        imin = 0, ! no minimisation
        ntx = 5, ! restart with coordinate and velocity
        irest = 1, ! restart, which means velocity is expected in
inpcrd
        nstlim = 500000,! number of steps (1 ns)
        dt = 0.002, ! step size
        ntf = 2, ! not to calculate force for SHAKE constrained bonds
        ntc = 2, ! SHAKE for all hydrogen-bonded
        temp0 = 300.0 ! temperature
        ntpr = 100, ! info frequency
        ntwx = 10000, ! trajectory frequency
        cut = 8.0, ! cutoff
        ntb = 2, ! PBC for constant pressure
        ntp = 1, ! Berendsen barostat
        ntt = 3, ! Langevin thermostat
        gamma_ln=2.0, ! Langevin thermostat frequency
        ig = -1, ! random seed
        !nmropt = 1, ! read extra restraint input from external DISANG
file

 &rst ! Distance restraint between index 18 23, gradually increasing in
time
        iat = 18, 23, ! iat nonzero up to two scalar >
distance restraint
        nstep1 = 1, nstep2 = 500000, ! linear scaling of restraint in

        iresid = 0, ! selecting atoms instead of groups

        ifvari = 1, ! time-dependent restraint
coefficient
        ! potential form : 0--linear--r1--harmonic--r2--
flat--r3--harmonic--r4
        r1 = 0., r2 = 1., r3 = 1., r4 = 99., rk2 = 0., rk3 = 0.,
        r1a= 0., r2a= 1., r3a= 1., r4a= 99., rk2a= 5., rk3a= 5.,

Thanks for your help.

Simon
