Re: [AMBER] temperature not reaching target value in heating simulation

Duh, I missed that you are apparently restraining your backbone!

restraint_wt=2.0,
     restraintmask='.CA,C,O,N',

That would be like doing the Lambada in an iron lung, as far as allowing any heat to occur. You want a flexible spine, and sensitive touch, not checking in every 500 steps:

ntpr=500
