Dear All,
I noticed that people tend to use 1 fs time-step for integration in GB/SA
simulations. I understand that the scheme implemented does not involve
friction with the environment and this can give rise to faster
motions in some degrees of freedom of the solute. I am not sure how much
faster bonds fluctuate in this case, but a 2 fs integration step
did not produce anything strange for my nucleic acid simulation:
no drift in total energy over 10 ns - although the simulation was
run at constant temperature (300 K) with tautp=5.0.
Any experience on this or comment is apperciated.
