Replica exchange at step 1000 time 2

Repl pr .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00 .00

the line 'Repl pr ' allways only contains .00's. thus i guess there is 
no exchange happening. am i right? what are the possible reasons and 
what you suggest me to change?

thanks a lot//

yes. in the Seibert paper the number of atoms was very small  4000. The 
number of replicas should be inversely proportional to the number of 
atoms, so if you have 16000 atoms you need 64 replicas to cover this 
T-range.

2006-08-28 Thread Carsten Baldauf

dear david//
i never used pymol ... in your paper you write you solvated using pymol. 
is it a plugin or or a standard feature? can you give me a hint how to 
do it?

thanks//

It doesn't write that... We used pymol (pymol.sf.net) to generate the 
starting structure of our peptide. Genbox was used for solvation.

Re: [gmx-users] remd ... is it exchanging?

2006-08-28 Thread Carsten Baldauf

ok, i got it wrong ...

i see now my problem ... i am using an extremely big box ...
the length of my fully extended peptide is about 5.6 nm i will try a box 
with an image distance of 5.7 nm.

this should more or less resemble the status of your input, am i right?

thanks for the help//

Yep. You will see x between pairs of numbers in the Repl ex line 
when exchange occured successfully between those pairs. You can 
experiment with making your temperature gaps smaller to get a feel for 
how close they need to be for your size of system.
