        Dear Gmx Users,
        I am running my protein with ligand. at the begining of my
        simulation the protein is far away from the ligand. Then in
        about 5-10 ns my ligand binds to the protein surface remaining
        there for rest 90-95 ns. Would you adjust coupling groups in
        thermostat as:
        a) Protein_LIg and Water_and_ions
        b) Protein Water_ions_LIG
        c) Protein LIG Water_ions


    I'd consider a single coupling group before any of those. See
    final part of manual 3.4.8 and ref therein. c) is unsound because
    the ligand is likely too small. The lack of T-group atom
    contiguity in a) might be an issue, I'm not sure. b) is probably
    what people do, but you know this from your literature searching
    about similar work, right? :-)

Well...I used a) approach as Ligand becaome a part of the protein quite fast.

Sure, but if the path that took it there might be unsound, then you can't refute the argument that the fact that that path occurred might be a numerical artefact.

The b) just was my own tought as at the begining of the simulation is in water only, however just for 500 ps as far as I see out of 100ns. How would you tackle this?

Didn't I answer this already? :-)
