Dear Professor David,
I quite do not understand the meaning of production run for the free energy
MD. Is it has the same meaning as in Sander MD prior to the equlibration. My
starting coordinate file is from the previously performed 1ns equlibration.
For such case do I need to run the production for each step of the lamda
value or just at the beginning of the peturbation when lamda=0
Thanking you,
Sincerely,
JIten
