Hi,

Just tested it. The [ dihedral_restraints ] didn't help. The RMSD of the
ligand is the same when the [ dihedral_restraints ] or [ dihedrals ] is
used at end of the complex topology file. This is a bug?

Checked also the position of the ligand during the simulation on the VMD.
It is very mobile in the decoupled state as I said in the previous mail.

*First test:*
[ intermolecular_interactions ]
[ bonds ]
; ai     aj    type   bA      kA     bB      kB
 1391    2615  6      0.654   0.0    0.654   4184.0

[ angles ]

 1391   2615   2614   1       32.9     0.0        32.9     41.84

*Second test:*
[ intermolecular_interactions ]
[ bonds ]
; ai     aj    type   bA      kA     bB      kB
 1391    2615  6      0.654   0.0    0.654   4184.0

 1391   2615   2614   1       32.9     0.0        32.9     41.84

[ dihedral_restraints ]
