[gmx-users] Verlet scheme and relative free binding energy

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

One can vary PME parameters for electrostatics at approximately constant
accuracy by scaling the Fourier grid spacing and short-range cutoff by the
same factor. (This is what mdrun does during PME tuning.) So you can use
rcoulomb = 1.0 and spacing scaled accordingly.

In GROMACS 2016, the Verlet scheme will likely support specifying such
setups directly.
