[gmx-users] difference in -heavyh and -deuterate

[Felipe Merino]

Hi,

With heavyh you redistribute the mass of the system, making hydrogen 
heavy by taking mass from the attached atom. In that way the total mass 
remains unchanged, but you can use a bigger time step (I think it's 
meant for 4fs).
