Subject: AMBER: langevin, GB and simulated annealing?

Dear Amber developers,

I am trying to use Amber8 for a GB implicit solvent simulation with langevin
dynamics (ntt=3) of a 12 bp rna tetraloop. I would like to use simulated
annealing (SA), but whatever I do the temperature stays at 300.0. I read a
message on the mailing list that says that SA is not possible with langevin
dynamics. So I tried the same with the berendsen thermostat (ntt=1), but again,
no change in temperature. With explicit solvent, however, it works. Dose that
mean SA is not implemented for GB and/or langevin? You can find my input and
ouput here below. The latter seems to confirm that the SA weight change input
was read in..

Thank you very much for your help!
