[gmx-users] REMD As A Function of Distance Between 2 Chains

[Huey Ling Tan]

Dear all ,
thank you for those comments, we are aware of the paper.  However, we are
not sure how to implement the replica exchange in gromacs.  We would like to
run a set of replicas in which each replica corresponds to a different set
of umbrella parameters.  However, when setting up a replica exchange run,
all .tpr files use the same .ppa file so that each replica will have the
same umbrella potential parameters.   Do you know how to get around this
problem.
Thank you in advance,
Huey Ling
