[gmx-users] minimization for final configuration

2014-09-30 Thread Mahboobeh Eslami
hi GMX users
i have simulated the protein-ligand complex by gromacs for 20ns. 
The average for the final structure of 18 to 20 nanoseconds has been 
achieved.is minimization for the final average structure required?Sincerely.

Indeed, it is unlikely that averaged coordinates of certain structure
versus time correspond to something physically meaningful.

How do you average them, by the way? And what for, please?

 An average structure might be totally unphysical.  Energy minimization of an
 unphysical structure leads you to something that is probably useless.  I'd
 suggest doing clustering if you're interested in the predominant
 conformation(s) during a certain time period of the simulation.
