Thanks a lot for the Reply,
I have two more questions:
1. If I heat the system in NAMD with the temperature reassignments
method (and not use the coupling scheme) ...would that make a much
difference comparing to AMBER simulations?
2. Is the simulation in NAMD altered if I already started it without
the trick to get rigid waters?
Thanks again,
Vlad
