I am trying to do a simulated annealing with RDC and NOE restraints  
but with explicit electrostatics turned on.  The following param
statement seems to work ok:

parameters
   nbonds
     atom
     nbxmod 4        {* This is set to 4 (bonds), because we are  
using    *}
                     {* internal dynamics (torsion angle  
refinement).     *}
     wmin  =   0.01  {* warning  
off                                       *}
tolerance=0.5
       eps=30 cutnb=11.5 ctonnb=9.5 ctofnb=10.5 tolerance=0.5 rdie  
vswitch switch
   end
end
(Yes, I stole that from refine_gentle.inp)

And the electrostatics are turned on during the initial minimization  
and through the first steps torsional high temperature dynamics.   
However, once the cool loop starts (itype=pc6) and vanderWaals radii  
start increasing, if I use the repel=$radius  as in:

parameter
         nbonds
         cutnb=4.5 rcon=$k_vdw nbxmod=4 repel=$radius
     end       end


This appears to turn off the elec term in the energy function.   
However, getting rid of repel results in huge VanderWaals energies  
and  distorted structures.   Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Pochapsky
