Hi there,

I just run a REMD using just two replicas and extracted the results using the following

grep Repl md0.log
Initializing Replica Exchange
Repl  There are 2 replicas:
Repl  Using Constant Pressure REMD.

Repl  average probabilities:

Repl  number of exchanges:

Repl        0
Repl  average number of exchanges:

Repl      .00

I couldn't understand the result according to this output it seems no exchange has taken place. What should be the output if an exchange has occurred.


The exchange probability would be nonzero. You have a rather large value of dE between the two replicates; exchange is unlikely.
