[gmx-users] Question regarding coarse-graining martini

[Peter Kroon]

Hey Ali,


1) You usually can't use PR for equilibration - it'll oscillate out of
control and blow up. What I usually do is use Berendsen for
equilibration, and PR for the production run.

2) What do you mean exactly? The numbers mean the same, but I'm not sure
of any physical effect as a result of the coarse-graining. I think the
approximation you make by CGing is larger anyway. What you *do* see is
an effect in effective timescales, CG beads experience less "drag", and
diffuse and equilibrate faster than they should. So comparing dynamics
directly is extremely tricky.
