[gmx-users] Brownian dynamics

[Yin Jian]

Hi Mark,
Thank for your suggestions.
I do not understand why you seems so impatient? But I
do remember there is an old saying:
"there is stupid question in the world, but there are stupid answers
everywhere."

Now I am confused how to commute with you? Is there somebody
Else who understand me a little better?


Regards
Yin Jian

The same as in MD? Check out some reference material.

Nobody is suggesting this is a good idea.

Check out the reference material.

Teaching you things isn't really our job. You'll get a better response 
from useful people if you've tried to teach yourself and can ask 
focussed questions.
