Re: [AMBER] gremd_acyc keyword for H-REMD

Hi Adrian,

The md can run after removing the gremd_acyc keyword. However it involving
exchange between the first and last replicas. In my case, the
generalized distance reaction coordinates are restrained to about -2
Angstrom and +2 Angstrom in these two replicas.
The amber 2021 manual says, " gremd_acyc (H-REMD only) When set to 1, the
exchange between the first and the last replicas will not be considered and
odd numbers of replicas are allowed. Default: 0". That's why I want to use
this keyword.

Thank you,
Zhuoran
