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
