Re: [gmx-users] Pulling a CG protein

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

Hi Xavier (and Johnny), I quite agree with what Xavier says. Still I would like to point out that we have used CG models to pull on them and at least qualitatively they behave quite reasonably, although these models have never been parameterized or systematically tested with this kind of

Hi XAvier, Marc, and David, Thank you so much for the reply and encouragement ;-). Please forgive me as I am trying to learn how to reply to the thread that I started. With regards to the fun discussion, it was my original intent to compare the results of pulling with the MARTINI forcefield (if

Dear gromacs users, Hi, I am trying to pull apart a relatively large protein (CG using the martini force field) by pulling on two groups in opposite directions. To do this, I will be using the following .mdp file. However, I am almost certain that it contains errors: title=
