[gmx-users] Computing melting point

2014-01-14 Thread Golshan Hejazi
Hello everyone!

I would like to compute the melting point of a drug crystalline system. In the 
literature, there exist a good number of methods to do so! 
Among them, I read Gibbs-Duhem integration technique in which one needs to 
provide a reference coexistence of solid/liquid. I read some articles in which 
they studied the melting point of water and also some ionic crystals. But I 
would like to know whether you can suggest me some more materials to read to 
find some ideas how to choose the reference structure for drug crystals?

At the end, I would like to perform this simulation using gromacs. So if you 
think there are other methods which are more straight forward, would be great 
to let me know.

Best
G.

Lindemann criterion might be easier.  See For example,
