[gmx-users] News on implicit solvent implementation(s) ?

[Marc Baaden]

Hi Erik,

thanks a lot for these very encouraging news and for the continuing efforts on 
Gromacs development.

How did you do it ? I mean is there a similar thing like mkinl for GB ?
Or is it intermixed with the inner loops ?

OK. How about using the amber forcefield, for which there is a GB 
parametrization and a (not yet official or thoroughly tested ?) implementation 
in Gromacs ?

Cheers,
Marc
