[gmx-users] Different temperature

[Andrea Carotti]

Hi,
I've followed  the procedure of a paper that used gromacs for the MD 
simulation on the same target I have (same xray starting structure). I have 
followed the lines you mentioned:
1) energy minimization to relieve bad contacts after solvation, followed by
2) position-restrained NPT simulations
Do you have some suggestions? do I have to change something or this 
temperature can be considered acceptable?
In other simulations I have found a good reproducibility of some published 
results
thanks
Andrea
