Re: [gmx-users] system far from the equilibration state

2013-02-07 Thread Shima Arasteh

Thanks for your reply. 
How would I know that when I get close to the equilibration state?  By 
Pressure, Temperature,or  RMSD plots?


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Sincerely,
Shima

Sounds reasonable.  Berendsen is a useful method in such cases.

There are no absolutes, and it also depends on what one means by converged or 
equilibrated.  If we're talking about initial NVT/NPT equilibration steps 
where the solute of interest is restrained in some way, simple analysis of 
temperature and pressure is likely sufficient to demonstrate that the ensemble 
is stable.  If we're talking about trying to determine equilibrium sampling, 
that's something else entirely and likely will involve protein-specific and/or 
lipid-specific metrics.
