Dear AMBER users,

I am relatively new to the use of restraints in the MD simulation.
Similar to temperature ramp to heat the system, I am trying to apply
restraint ramp to restraint positions of protein atoms only
(restraintmask=':1-306')

I want to increase the restraint on the positions of the proteins
gradually.
However, I am not sure how to apply the ramp on the proteins' position only
and solvent molecules unrestrained. I guess following will work.

 equilibration rst
 &cntrl
  imin=0, irest=1, ntx=5,
  nstlim=500000, dt=0.001,
  ntc=2, ntf=2,
  cut=10.0, ntb=2, ntp=1, taup=2.0,
  ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwr=5000,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=2.0,
  temp0=298,
  iwrap=1,
  ntr=1, restraintmask=':1-306',
  restraint_wt=1.0,
 /
 &wt TYPE='REST', istep1=0, istep2=250000,
  value1=0.0, value2=1.0, /
 &wt TYPE='REST', istep1=0, istep2=250000,
  value1=1.0, value2=1.0, /
 &wt TYPE='END' /
 /

Does the above setting look good ?
I am not sure whether I should use restraint_wt=1.0.

Any input would be great help.

Thanking you in advance.
Best,

Joshi
