Ok, The protein I am going to simulate is from a hyperthermophilic organism
which lives in deep oceanic thermal vents. so in the deep vents the pressure
will be enormous. even though I do not have much information about the
magnitude of pressure in that site and inside the cell of that organism.. I may
be able to get some rough estimate of pressure..

So I wanted to simulate this protein at a temperature near 90 or 100 deg C.


I would suggest investigating what an appropriate pressure value might be (although I agree it's hard to say, and you may not be able to actually simulate at such a pressure for stability reasons), equilibrate under NPT until the pressure and temperature are stable, then switch to NVT to eliminate the boiling issue. It is hard to say whether or not any force field or water model will inherently be stable for these conditions, but high temperature MD is a topic that is well-represented in the literature. I'd suggest you apply proven methodology that makes sense in your case.

        Hello,

        I am sorry those were two different questions..  I wanted to

        "The set pressure should reflect whatever system you are trying
        to model."


    You haven't fully explained what exactly you're trying to do yet, so
    I'm taking a stab in the dark.  Let's say you're trying to simulate
    a benchtop experiment with a protein in solution over a heating
    mantle at 350 K.  The pressure is 1 atm under such circumstances
    (NPT).  Now let's say you want to simulate the behavior of a protein
    solution in a bomb calorimeter (constant volume) at 350 K.  The
    pressure is not likely to be 1 atm under such circumstances (but
    then too, you'd use NVT instead of NPT, but maybe after NPT
    equilibration at whatever the necessary pressure is).  Without a
    fully detailed description of what you'd like to accomplish, I'm
    going to stop guessing.

    You've asked a lot of scattered questions about different topics,
    which makes it less efficient for people to help you and less clear
    for you to understand what we're trying to communicate back, even if
    it is somewhat generic.

           I don't see the connection to my comment about pressure, but I'll
           address this anyway.  There is no temperature during EM.
         Hence with
           "gen-vel = no" then no velocities are generated.  The
        settings for
           gen-temp and gen-seed are defaults that are assigned when
        none are
           provided in the input .mdp file.

           I seem to recall that a pressure term is written during EM,
        but it
           is largely meaningless.
