[gmx-users] question regarding high temperature simulation in Gromacs

[Dr. Puspita Halder]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'd try to run my high temperature simulations with pressure coupling off as per your suggestion. 
I was wondering about the simulation parameters (as mentioned in the early post) that I need to change for running high 
temperature simulations and should I use simulated annealing protocol for all such simulations? 

Thanks
Puspita Halder

I'd like to perform high temperature (400K or 500K) simulations with those. Now my question is what should be the values of the simulation parameters e.g., compressibility, tau_p or tau_t at 400K or 500K? I used compressibility = 4.5e-5 and tau_p = 2.0 and tau_t = 0.1 for pressure and temperature coupling for simulations at 300K. What other parameters should I change for high temperature simulations? Should I always use simulated annealing protocol for simulations at higher temperature or I can directly heat the system to such higher temperatures? Any comments or suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Simulating above the boiling temperature of water may be problematic 
with pressure coupling. Better turn it off.
