look in your mdout file, near the top it will list "NATOM". THis is the
number of atoms. Multiply by 3 to get total degrees of freedom. If you use
shake on bonds, you will need to subtract. The details depend on how you
are running your simulation. Number of bonds involving hydrogen and not
involving hydrogen atoms are listed in NBONH and MBONA.
The details connecting KE to the temperature depend somewhat on the
thermostat and its settings, there is more information in the Amber
manual. There are also older posts in the Amber archive.
