Dear Dr. Case:
Thanks for preparing the FEP/TI tutorial.
I still have two issues regarding the calculation. I know these have not
been
discussed before. Correct me if I am wrong. I am using Amber8.
1.For charge calculation in water, you set lambda=0.1127, 0.5, 0.8873 for 3
MD calculations. From the perl script, I realized for lambda=0.5, it started
from the rst file from lambda=0.1127; and for lambda=0.8873, it read rst
file
of lambda=0.5. But what is the input coordinate file for lambda=0.1127.
Should
it be the equlibrated structure from lambda=0 or lambda=0.1127? In other
word,
after I created pert files from a PDB, what lambda value or no value should
I
use to equlibrate the system before 3 seperated sander runs?
2.When I set nstlim =100000, ntave=5000, I expect to have an AVERAGE SUMMARY
at
every 5000 steps. It did report at every NSTEP=5000 but the line is "A V E R
A G E S
O V E R 2500 S T E P S". When I set nstlim =100000, ntave=10000, the line
is
"A V E R A G E S O V E R 5000 S T E P S". After I checked the source
code runmd.f,
I realized this value is called nvalid and equals ntave/nrespa. Because I
set nrespa=2,
So it reported at every ntave/2 steps, am I right?
Thanks.
