Re: [gmx-users] Thermostat for REMD simulations in implicit solvent

2010-11-26 Thread Per Larsson
Hi!

Have never tried remd with implicit solvent, but note that the unit of tau-t in 
the mdp-file is ps, not ps-1. This means you should set tau-t = 0.0109 rather 
than 91.

Try this and see if the problem goes away!

 Dear all, 
 I am trying to set up a REMD simulation for a peptide (CHARMM ff) in implicit 
 solvent (OBC GB). 
 Following Bjelkmar et al* I am using stochastics dynamics integration with an 
 inverse friction constant of 91 ps-1, 5 fs timestep, 
 virtual-sites for hydrogens, all-vs-all nonbonded (no cutoff).  The full .mdp 
 file is attached at the end of this mail. The problem I am 
 facing is that after a while, the temperatures of all replicas start dropping 
 even below the lowest target temperature. 
 Would you suggest changing some parameter or the whole thermostat to prevent 
 this from happening?

Re: [gmx-users] Thermostat for REMD simulations in implicit solvent

2010-11-26 Thread César Ávila
I also noticed this error on my setup, so I changed tau-t to 0.1, which is
commonly found on others setup.
tau-t = 0.0109 seems too low.
