[gmx-users] on the Umbrella Sampling tutorial

[Acoot Brett]

Dear All,
 
According to the on-line tutorial on Umbrella Sampling, there is a step to get a lot of configurations, and for each configuration we need to run a MD. For this reaon I regard the Umbrella Sampling method for binding energy calculation is not suitable for relatively large protein complex (I am not sure the MW of the complex used by Justin in the original publication. But for my protein-ligand complex, the total MW is about 50, 000 Dalton), as for the MD for all the configurations will take a rather long calculation time.
 
Do you agree on my view? Or do you have much better method?
 
Cheers,
 
Acoot

It wasn't necessary.  The system is quite robust and my experience has indicated that NPT equilibration was sufficient.
