Hi Marcos,
   I didn't use multiple time stepping algorithm,but I didn't use uniform time step either:
timestep 2
nonbondedFreq 2
fullElectFrequency 4
stepspercycle 20
    Is that to say that only the energy at a time step that is multiple of (4/2)make sense?

>> By the way,during solvating the protein,we set the waters departing 3.3 Å from protein (defaut is 2.4 Å),and then did NTV MD. So that, at some specific positions near the protein, huge water holes occured.Did the Elect Energy shift has any relationship with this?
