Re: [gmx-users] Optimization of the box size during an energy minimization?

Hey :) A little while ago I tried growing in molecules in a solution starting from shrunken coordinates. It would have been very useful if the box also had taken part in the energy minimization... That would have saved quite bit of trouble relaxing with NPT MD. Just my two cents :) Tsjerk On

Agree! For most of the simulation of biological systems, EM with pressure coupling is not really necessary. However, it's maybe useful in some studies,such as the simulation of a peptide crystal. Anyway, thanks for the answer! Happy new year! Ting On 12/29/2010 7:31 PM, Justin A. Lemkul

Hi Justin, Thanks for your answer! As far as I understood, the virial expression of pressure has two parts, the kinetic energy contribution and the potential energy contribution. Even when temperature is undefined or zero, the product of pair force and distance between atoms still contribute to

Hi Mark, Forgive me asking a question that may be obvious for experienced GMX users. I want to quickly verify a problem against some other software, so I temporarily turn to Gromacs. It would be nice if you could point me out where to find the relevant tutorial or manual chapter. I couldn't
