[gmx-users] FW: rvdw

[Yin Jian]

Hi Hess,
Thanks for your comments, although we have difference in this
topic. The carrier of depletion force at least for me is
not sure. So we want to do a test anyway in this way.



Regards,
Jian

I don't understand what you mean with the second sentence.

But with respect to the first one, in most cases it does not make much
sense to have small solvent particles around a big coarse-grained
particle,
since there will be no specific interactions between the solvent and the
big
solvent particle.
One can therefore just as well use large solvent particles and speed
up the simulation.

Berk.
