Dear justin
In my work MD peptide(with 13 aa) I use this md.mdp.would ypu please
say me Is that correct.

The definition of "correct" is up to you. I'll give you a few pointers (embedded below), but the leg-work of determining the validity of the parameters is your homework, not mine (or anyone else's!)


title               =  cpeptide MD
cpp                 =  /lib/cpp
constraints         =  all-bonds
integrator          =  md
dt                  =  0.002    ; ps !
nsteps              =  5000     ; total 5 ps.
nstcomm             =  1
nstxout             =  50
nstvout             =  0

Are you sure you don't want to save velocities every now and again? If your run crashes because of a hardware problem, you may want to be able to restart it...

What about using nstxtcout? The output file will be greatly compressed relative to the .trr. It will save a lot of disk space when running analysis.

nstfout             =  0
nstlist             =  10
ns_type             =  grid
rlist               =  1.0
rcoulomb            =  1.0
rvdw                =  1.0

All of the parameters from nstlist to rvdw have values that are generally determined by the force field and its derivation scheme. Check the literature.

; Berendsen temperature coupling is on in two groups
Tcoupl              =  berendsen
tau_t               =  0.1      0.1
tc-grps             =  protein  sol
ref_t               =  300      300

As long as you have no ions this is fine.

; Pressure coupling is not on
Pcoupl              =  no
tau_p               =  0.5
compressibility     =  4.5e-5
ref_p               =  1.0

As long as you are expecting an NVT ensemble, this is also fine.

; Generate velocites is on at 300 K.
gen_vel             =  yes
gen_temp            =  300.0
gen_seed            =  173529


Is this .mdp file for equilibration or production? You refer to it as the md.mdp, but if you're re-generating velocities, I certainly hope this .mdp file is for the beginning of equilibration. If you re-generate velocities repeatedly, then you don't get a continuous trajectory.
