Hi Johnny, I am not familiar with pulling and even less with gromacs but I would be very cautious in using the MARTINI force field for the kind of simulation you are doing. This CG model has not been tested at all for this and it might not be very good at it! But I would be very interested

[gmx-users] generate pair list and 1-4 interactions

2009-07-30 Thread Enemark Soeren
Dear all, I am a bit confused about how the pair potentials (PPs)are calculated. If I state explicitly sigma and epsilon values for the pair potentials, can I then still have a coulomb scaling of my 1-4 interactions? Say I set gen-pairs to yes, although I have all possible pair potential

Hi Berk, Thanks for your answer, I am happy to have the priority list for how the van der Waals term of the pair potential is calculated. About fudgeQQ, do you mean that the pair potentials' coulomb terms are scaled with the fudgeQQ value, even when gen-pairs is set to no? ( I see from the

If you unzipped/untarred the archive properly it should be some system already prepared to run. So you can just start grompp and mdrun to begin MD. By the way, I had already seen that web page... I downloaded and unzipped the swcnt file, but I can't understand what kind of file it is.
