Hi all,

I am still trying to extract energy values from my MD trajectory file using
sander imin=5 option. My command is like:

$AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O \
                   -i min5_EN.in \
                   -o min5_EN.out \
                   -p 1EMB_3_20.prmtop \
                   -c 1EMB_3_20.inpcrd \
                   -r 1EMB_3_20_min_new.rst \
                   -x 1EMB_3_20.mdcrd \
which seems OK and my in file is as follows:

minimization_step1
 &cntrl
  imin = 5,
  ntx = 1,
  maxcyc = 1,
  dx0 = 0.000001,
  ntb = 1,
  ntr = 0,
  ntt = 1,
  cut = 10,
  ntwx = 1
 /
Sander starts running, but after every step the VDWAALS and ENERGY values
double. After a short time, the VDWAALS values 'burst' and I get unreasonable
energy outputs. I know that these input files are all working, but I cannot get
the same energy results.

Does anybody have a suggestion??

Thanks in advance,
