Hi Mark and Justin, I did investigate on the rvdw=rlist issue. But, I found even if I make rvdw rlist and still keep time step 0.002, the average temperature goes to 303 K. Only reducing the time step does help ( even if rvdw=rlist) to get average temperature to 300K. Sanku

Yes. I did check the tau_t issue. I used tau_t=2ps as recommended in the manual. Again here, the simulation with 0.002 ps step gives rise to 303K. But, from now on, as per your( and Justin's) recommendation, I am going to use the tau_t=2ps and rvdwrlist in conjunction with 0.001 ps time step

Hi Justin, I first performed two minimization using steep and l-bfgs as the method on the solvated system for each lambda. Then I ran a 500ps NVT simulation on minimized system ( for each lambda) where essentially same .mdp file was used except the following change: gen-vel

Hi Justin, So, do you suggest that after minimization, I should generate the velocity at 300K instead ? i.,e for equilibration,should following the set-up? gen-vel = yes gen-temp= 300 gen-seed= -1 From:

OKK, But, before, I have tried using md as integrator where I start the initial velocity as 280K ( which makes sense as the minimized configuration is essentially at low temperature) and have used Nose-hoover at 300K and I never had problem in getting the desired 300K after running a short NVT

Finally, I achieved the desired 300K average temperature using sd integrator . I had to reduce the time step from 0.002 ps to 0.001 ps and then running the NVT could produce 300K as average temperature. Still Not sure why md integrator still could 300K average temperature using 0.002 ps
