Hi,

I am planning to carry out a REMD study on a 12 residue beta-hairpin peptide. I have read the gromacs tutorial for that . I have certain doubts regarding the tutorial :-

1. Step. 4 says that "run short simulations to have an estimate of the exchange rate (can get a good estimate within ~100 ps) and modify the temperatures if it does not correspond to the wished exchange." Do I have to run short MD of 100 ps for each replica . I am not able to understand this step ??

You want to obtain an real estimate of the exchange acceptance frequency before you commit large resources. So do a short REMD simulation to see what that frequency is.


2. I have currently 24 processors available for REMD. The temperature range that I have obtained from tgenerator server has 69 different values (300K-600K). I want to know how to calculate the no. of processors required for carrying out REMD for a certain temperature range ??

Your system size, number of replicas, temperature range and exchange acceptance frequency are interlinked. You can only choose three of them independently.
