[gmx-users] High temperature Simulation

Ok, The protein I am going to simulate is from a hyperthermophilic organism
which lives in deep oceanic thermal vents. so in the deep vents the pressure
will be enormous. even though I do not have much information about the
magnitude of pressure in that site and inside the cell of that organism.. I
may
be able to get some rough estimate of pressure..

So I wanted to simulate this protein at a temperature near 90 or 100 deg C.

Thank you
With Regards
Kavya
