Hello Prof Case,
Yes I have looked at the complex before minimization and after minimization.
Please find my attached input file for leap, my setup.pdb and my minimized.pdb , if that helps to make my question understandable.
My point of interest is C2 atom of C3N molecule should be fixed at -6.000 14.000 -2.500 location.
It moves a lot even after restraining the molecule with 500 restrain weight.
I do not understand why is it so.
Looking to hear back from you.
Regards

This last sentence is hard to understand, and we don't know what pymol
has done. Have you (a) looked visually at the complex before
minimization? (b) looked at the ACN coordinates, after pyMol but before
minimization? Do they match the the "before minimization" coordinates
you gave? (c) visually looked at the complex after minimization? Is
the ACN in the proper location relative to other parts of the system?
A 500 kcal/mol restraint will keep your residue from moving. My best
guess is that there is some operator error here: are you sure that the
ACN coordinates in the "-ref" file are really a lot different from the
ones in the restart file after Amber minimization?
