Dear Joao, Thank you very much for your support. I am following Justin's tutorial but simulating a fragment of antibody (Fab). I will try the different water models. Yours sincerely Cheng -- Original -- From: "ZHANG Cheng";<272699...@qq.com>; Date: Thu,

Just one more thing. If you're following Justin's tutorial, I guess you're using lysozyme. This protein will not deviate very much from it's crystal structure at 27ºC, let alone at -40ºC (*in the context of a molecular dynamics simulation**). I understand that it may be possible to experimentally

​Higher complexity water models such as TIP5P and so on are able to better reproduce bulk water properties (please check the paper I linked in my earlier email). However, these models require more computational effort (due to the increased number of interactions) and may not work well in

Hello, "spc216.gro" is not a water model, it's just a pre-equilibrated simulation box (300 K and 1 bar) with the coordinates of 216 3-site water molecules. SPC and TIP3P are two examples of 3-site water models. Water model properties are well studied and tabled (e.g.

2017-06-07 Thread ZHANG Cheng
Dear Gromacs, I would like to simulate the protein at subzero condition in aqueous buffer, to see if it becomes more stable than the elevated temperature (e.g. 65 C). Can I ask what is the valid temperature range for water "spc216.gro" ? If I run the simulation at -40 C, does it still assume
