[gmx-users] emtol

[Tanos C. C. França]

	Hi folks,

	What is considered a suitable tolerance (emtol) for a energy minimization
of a big dimeric protein  (884 residues) in a water box  ?  In the article
cited bellow, Berendsen said that he performed an em with steepest descent
until a tolerance of 0,01 Kj/mol.nm. How to do this ? In my machine the most
I achieved was 1000 Kj/mol.nm in a water box. The calculation always stops
when the Fmax is about 1000 and gives me the following mesage: "Step size
too small. Converged to machine precision". What does it means ?
