[gmx-users] Inserting small molecule into the solvated system

[Kay Gottschalk]

It probably means that you first have your system with membrane and 
water. In this System, you insert your (small!) molecule first in a 
very unrealistic way: the atoms are bonded to each other, but have no 
non-bonded interactions with the system; that means, no charge, no vdW 
radius. Then you gradually increase the non-bonded terms until you have 
your 'real' molecule. After each increment of the non-bonded terms, you 
equilibrate your system.
I hope this is a) correct and b) of some help.
Cheers,
K.
