[gmx-users] Fwd: Implicit solvent simulation

[prasun kumar]

Dear All and Justin

Thanx for the quick reply...
My aim is to find the effect of the ion on the dodecamer (whether on adding
ions it is stable or not)
Seeing the system.. I am left with two options (My view): 1) Coarse Grain
Method or 2. Implicit Solvent Method
Coarse Grain Method is full of approximation thats why I was hesitant to
follow this approach...
According to you if not the implicit solvent method, then any suggestion
you can give..

Thanx alot in the advance

PRASUN (ASHOKA)
Desire + stability = Resolution
Resolution + Hard work = Success
