Subject: gB vs. explicit

Hello,

I've been running sander calculations on a large protein (cyclooxygenase dimer
with 2 heme's, 2 arachidonic acids and 8 bog detergents--1118 residues, 18,422
atoms). In the interest of saving compute cycles, I've been using generalized
Born and keeping the 200 crystallographic waters held in place with 1kcal
positional restraints. I recently set up an explicit water simulation as a
control (truncated octahedron, 11A buffer, 6 Na+, SPC/E water...):

  Solute vdw bounding box: 103.139 68.888 84.395
  Total bounding box for atom centers: 130.591 130.591 130.591
  Volume: 1139331.597 A^3 (oct)
  Total mass 646857.976 amu, Density 0.943 g/cc
  Added 28407 residues.

Scary big (29,726 residues, 104,234 atoms)--so I assumed this calculation
would take forever. But I've found that the explicit calculation is running
nearly twice as fast as the generalized Born version! Have you guys really
improved explicit calculations this much??? Could it be a crossover of timing
profiles as the number of atoms gets really large?

Below are input files and the timing section from the output for gB and
explicit calcs. Please let me know if any more information is needed to help
explain this.

Thanks!

Kristina

*NMR restraint refers to a virtual bond between the protein and the heme.
