[gmx-users] Monte Carlo with Gromacs and implicit solvent

[Rodrigo Faccioli]

Hi,

Although I don't work with MC simulation, I have used Gromacs to obtain
energies and others protein features in my Evolutionary Algorithms (EA).

In general lines, I created a script that calls Gromacs programs and the
output of these programs, such as g_energy (I read its xvg file), I stored
it at a specific file which is read by my algorithm and its values are put
into my data structure. I call Gromacs either implicit or explicit
solvent.

My project is working with EA until now. However, the integration with
GROMACS is able to work with other kind of algorithms such as MC. Actually,
we have idea to work with MC. But, I don't know when it will be possible.
If you want, we can talk about join these work.

Best regards,
