Hey,

In addition to the foregoing...
The separate coupling is to prevent draining energy from one part to the other. It is pretty unlikely that either protein or tube will drain the other one. Water is always a different story. You can check the setup you choose afterwards, like after a short run, by rerunning the sinulation with the split groups and checking the temperature. E.g. if you run with protein and tube in one group, the should both end up having the same temperature, within the noise. Do mind the noise is related to the number of atoms in a group.


Clarifying - the amount of noise is *inversely* related to the number atoms. That should be fairly moot, though, because a T-coupling group with less than a thousand atoms is probably not worth considering. The algorithms work best in macroscopic limits, so a group that's not at least 10% of your system is likely not approaching that limit - and grompp will warn you about that.

Hope it helps,

One alternative is to pay attention to the advice at the end of section 3.4.8 of the manual and ref cited there - that separate T-coupling groups can be worse than the problems they purport to fix.
