[gmx-users] first residue in chains warning issue

[Ming Tang]

Thanks, Justin

For a stable system, is it true that it can be equilibrated endlessly without error?   I got LINCS errors when my protein had been equilibrated for about 50ns. Does this mean that there is some wrong with my system?

This is generally (read: pretty much always) what people do in biomolecular simulations.  The bonds are rarely (read: practically never) excited from their ground state, so constraints are a reasonable approximation.  This isn't universal, but it's definitely true in most biological systems at ambient conditions.
