Dear all,
 I am a beginner in Amber and wanted to know if the equilibration step can
be done in multiple steps with decreasing the force constant.

I am working on DNA molecular dynamics simulation. Prior to equilibration,
I have done minimization and heating(from 0 to 300k with K=20 for 20ps).
When equilibrating the system with decreasing force constant (K1=20, K2=10,
K3=5, K4=1, and without constraints). During the starting of the second
step of equilibration (K2=10) temperature is shooting up to 700 K. After
that everything is going well. Should I continue or this can cause any
problem?

Thanks
Priyabrata Das
