AMBER: SHAKE, TIP3P and 2fs Timesteps

Dear All,

It is my understanding that the TIP3P water model has the O-H bond
restrained (frozen), hence to use this as a solvent in a model, SHAKE
should really be used.

Is this correct? What artifacts may be introduced by running a
simulation with TIP3P solvent without SHAKE?

As a side question from this, what artifacts may be introduced by
running a simulation with SHAKE enabled but using 1fs timesteps?


Thanks,


Mark Williamson
