[gmx-users] Re: Polarized water model

Dear David:

Thanks. I have tried many times as you said. There are still three problems to
get your help.

1. In shell model, as mentioned in your paper, shell particle position was
performed at each time step. But it is very time-consuming. If I wanna make
this minimization at every 5th step. How should I input this parameter in mdp
file.

2. If I solvate protein in such shell water, in the step of PR, why EM can not
always converge? (even emtol=0.1, run in doule precision). Any suggestion?

3. In your shell model, dummy atoms are used. However, can I directly connect
the shell particle to oxygen atoms without using dummy atoms?


Thanks very much.

emtol = 0.1 kJ/mol
emstep doesn't matter (if I'm not terribly wrong)...

If you have shells in your system it is done anyway.
