hello Justin:

thanks a lot for kind reply.
I've got another question: how to disable PBC? shall I simply delete "pbc=xyz" from .mdp file? I found that sometimes if we delete some parameters from .mdp, gromacs will use the default instead of disable it.

thank you very much
best
Albert

thank you all the same. I saw many people use Amber for REMD and few people use Gromacs for REMD and the parameters is not easy reachable. However, what I found
is that Amber use cutoff=999

I am just wondering, shall I also use such big value for the following?

rlist = 999; short-range neighborlist cutoff (in nm)
rcoulomb = 999 ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)
rvdw = 999 ; short-range van der Waals cutoff (in nm)

thank you very much


For a non-periodic box, setting all cutoffs equal to zero accomplishes the same. Both approaches seek "infinite" cutoffs (i.e., all interactions are calculated).

I am no expert in implicit solvent simulations but I think for these
simulations it is better to use stochastic dynamic integrators with no
pbc (instead of NVT) and infinite (or very large) cut-off distances because there is no actual water molecule in your simulation box and [normally] you
do not have to worry about the boundary effects.

For finding appropriate parameters, you should have a look at the Gromacs manual and read the literature but if you need a quick example see below
(please note that this is just an example).

Cheers,
Saber
