i never used pymol ... in your paper you write you solvated using pymol. is it a plugin or or a standard feature? can you give me a hint how to do it?

It doesn't write that... We used pymol (pymol.sf.net) to generate the starting structure of our peptide. Genbox was used for solvation.


thanks//

i am trying to run remd simulations on a 16 residue peptide using 16 replicas in a temperature range from 275 to 419 kelvin. i follow the method described here: Seibert, M., Patriksson, A., Hess, B., van der Spoel, D. Reproducible polypeptide folding and structure prediction using molecular dynamics simulations. J. Mol. Biol. 354:173–183, 2005.

when i look in the *log files is think i find the sections logging the exchanges:
Replica exchange at step 1000 time 2
Repl 0 <-> 1 dE = 3.180e+01 dpV = 5.043e-04 d = 3.180e+01
Repl ex 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Repl pr .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00

the line 'Repl pr ' allways only contains .00's. thus i guess there is no exchange happening. am i right? what are the possible reasons and what you suggest me to change?
thanks a lot//

yes. in the Seibert paper the number of atoms was very small < 4000. The number of replicas should be inversely proportional to the number of atoms, so if you have 16000 atoms you need 64 replicas to cover this T-range.
