[gmx-users] aMD for Gromacs?

[Albert]

Thanks a lot for kind comments guys.

recently I found a PNAS paper using aMD to explore the process of GPCR 
activation which take place at minisecond time scale:

http://www.pnas.org/content/110/27/10982

it seems that it can sample mini second events, but  cannot assign 
proper sequential time for each frame. Probably this is also a weakness 
of metadynamics? I am just wondering is it possible to figure out the 
sequence of each conformation take place in either methods?

thanks

Albert
