Re: [AMBER] CHARMM Output - Empty Restraint File

this is complicated because it looks to me like the problem is not
related to Amber.
Looking at your md output file, it seems that your positional restraints
are read ok (but only you can tell if these are the right atoms). The
problem seems to be in reading the dihedral restraint file (is this what
you are calling the "rest" file?). See this important section from the
mdout:



*Restraints will be read from file: step6.2_equilibration.restHere are
comments from the DISANG input file: ** No
restraint defined ***

So pmemd is telling you that it did not read any restraints from that file.
It may be a formatting issue, or a problem in the script that sets up that
file. The script doesn't look like it came from an Amber program, so you'll
need to debug that and see what might be wrong. You didn't include that
file so we can't really check and see if it looks like something that pmemd
should be able to read.
