Thank you very much Prof. Roitberg and Prof. Case for your quick replies.
I appreciate you taking the time to reproduce this issue and providing such a detailed answer.

Thanks,
Alejandro

    But it looks like you are still getting lower energies.

    FWIW: the conjugate gradient code in runmin is about the oldest code
    around in Amber: I think it even precedes molecular dynamics. The entire
    runmin subroutine will be gone from future releases of sander, but not for
    AmberTools21. I don't know how we will handle the situation for pmemd.cuda.

    Indeed. Anyone who wants a good minimization should use xmin; just be sure
    to turn off SHAKE. (The latter is done automatically in development codes.)
