Hi,

I have been going through the How-to for REMD in gromacs:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/REMD

Is there a recommended value for the exchange interval and does it depend 
on system size? For example, is an interval of 100 ps appropriate for a 
sytem with 60,000 atoms? Is a too long interval simply a waste of time or 
can it actually introduce artefacts?

Thanks,

      Gianluca
