Dear All, I am using Berendsen barostat and thermostat for NPT equilibration MD run at 1 atm and 300 K. While it runs fine, average pressure at the end of the run is 19 bar. I am confused whether this is way off 1 atm target, or is justified recalling gromacs manual that says Berendsen barostat does not yield correct thermodynamic ensemble.
IN addition, initial box elongates to have space at both ends in z-direction as can be seen in following link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dahnyy3zy6vb1xh/AAD5ppxrm18rB3DHZ0Qji0qva Again, I am not sure if this is a case for concern or just artifact of using Berendsen. Is Parrinello-Rahman better than Berendsen, even for initial NPT equilibration?
