(a)is there an thermostat setting in GROMACS that comes close to the DPD thermostat as described in (T. Soddemann, B. D¨unweg, and K. Kremer.

No. (b) if nothing approaches DPD, how would a one go about starting to write a new thermostat in GROMACS? Implementing a new thermostat in Gromacs is easy, except for DPD, since it interferes both with the neighborlist and the integration. I have considered implementing DPD, but it is a lot of work and also difficult to do efficiently, since the DPD interactions are more expensive that the Coulomb and LJ interactions. Note that you only really need DPD for non-equilibrium phenomena where hydrodynamics plays a role.

Re: [gmx-users] stochastic dynamics , langevin
Thanks for the quick reply Berk. 1) Is this the proper keywords I should use for Langevin dynamics: integrator = sd ; bd-fric= 0 ; tau_t = 10 ; ref_t = 300 ; Basically, I want to know if I am using the 4 parameters correctly. That is - for Langevin dynamics, I should pick bd-fric=0, to allow the friction to be taken from 1/tau_t ? Secondly, I am looking for examples of tau_t different people use for different system.

If you want to leave out the solvent, but you want to simulate a system in solvent, SD is not going to help you, since there is no implicit solvent potential, so your potential and therefore your sampling is nonsense. So can we assume that the sampling is equivalent to that in vacuum (as far as underlying potential/free energy surface is concerned), with only the dynamics being slowed down by the viscous drag? Also, is it a safe guideline to use Langevin dynamics for small particles in not so viscous fluid and Brownian dynamics for large particles in highly viscous fluid?
