Dear Namd expert:
     I am trying to use implicit solvent model to simulate my protein E3_19,
which is thermally stable through experiment and full molecule
simulation(above 400K in simulation for over 10ns).
     However, once I am using the imlicit solvent, it even unfolds at 300K,
which is really weird, could anyone explain to me what is happening and how
I can solve this?
     Also, what I am thinking is to increase the damping factor, but what
should I typically use?
     Thank you very much.
