I tried to send this question few days ago and they said that I'm not allowed 
to post there.
(The edition of the replica exchange shouldn't be complicated.)
Do you have any tips regarding what I should do?

Read the RE documentation the manual and mdrun -h. Get out a debugger and step through the code. Most of the stuff relevant to replica exchange is in src/kernel/repl_ex.c

Thanks in advance,

Dear Matt

Thank you very much for the reply.
About 1 - it's cutoff in the energy, meaning that from a certain energy you 
will get this energy.
Can this be done with the table lookups?
Yes, any potential that is a function of distance between pairs can be
done. See manual 6.7.2. Of course, plain cut-offs can be done without
tables since about 1976...

Are you willing to cooperate with us on 2?
I don't have time for new projects, but a post to gmx-developers may
elicit feedback on feasibility.

Mark

Thanks

Dear Matt

Thank you very much for your reply.
The things we want to change are the following:
1. Introduce a cutoff energy in the Van Der Waals and electrical potential.
2. Editing the replica exchange function.
3. Multiplying functions by a factor (mostly the covalent bond and constraints 
potentials).
Probably you can do 1 and 3 with table lookups - see manual.

In the project we want to calculate free energy of RNAs. We want to run a MD 
simulation with these changes. We'll be happy to cooperate with you on this 
project (we hope that it'll lead to an article).

Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Asaf

Dear Asaf,

I think we need significantly more information in order to help you.
What function are you trying to port?  What are you trying to do with
it (that is, what is the scientific question you're trying to answer)?

GROMACS is a clean codebase, and remarkably easy to read for how much
computer science goes into it. However, there will likely be a
relatively severe impedance mismatch between the AMBER and GROMACS
code.  AMBER is written primarily in FORTRAN, and GROMACS is written
entirely in C.  Data (like topology and coordinates) are stored
differently in each code.  Finally, GROMACS uses a lot of specialized
techniques to speed up computations (table lookups instead of function
calls, and the like), so implementing an algorithm in GROMACS is often
more about re-expressing the algorithm in GROMACS style than it is
about simply transliterating a routine from FORTRAN into C.

What you're proposing is likely to be almost as formidable a task as
implementing an algorithm from scratch based on the original papers.
That said, our group has had success with modifying GROMACS code in
the past, and it turned out to be an efficient solution.

Cheers,
Matt Zwier

Dear Gromacs User

Hi.
My name is Asaf and I'm trying to edit one of the functions in amber in
order to use it in GROMACS.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Asaf
