Re: [gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling and histograms smoothness

[lloyd riggs]

Funny,

 

I could but dont have time.  You should look at Uni Washington things...if your doing that I would say restrain one for 10 sims, then the other and see if there's differences, and publish something on differences for restraints...on A vs. B, which I have never seen...

If you're using the pull code, yes you are. There's a force constant associated
with the spring that is applying the umbrella (harmonic) potential. If that's
not clear, stop everything you're doing and read every paper and book chapter
you can find so you understand what you're doing rather than just typing in what
a tutorial said.

There is a wealth of information on umbrella sampling, steered MD, etc. Google
will show you in seconds.

Possibly.

Time is the primary issue here (as in most any simulation).
