Dear all,

For polyAT_wat_md1.in
(http://www.rosswalker.co.uk/tutorials/amber_workshop/Tutorial_one/section5.htm):

polyA-polyT 10-mer: 20ps MD with res on DNA
 &cntrl
  imin = 0,
  irest = 0,
  ntx = 1,
  ntb = 1,
  cut = 10,
  ntr = 1,
  ntc = 2,
  ntf = 2,
  tempi = 0.0,
  temp0 = 300.0,
  ntt = 3,
  gamma_ln = 1.0,
  nstlim = 10000, dt = 0.002
  ntpr = 100, ntwx = 100, ntwr = 1000
 /
Keep DNA fixed with weak restraints
10.0
RES 1 20
END
END


I have a question on the temperature increasement.
First of all, for initial temperature 0 K, it cannot
reflet the real system, because a real system can
never has a frozen temperature. Is the parameter
initial T=0 correct or not?

Secondly, for this md, the total length will be 20 ps.
How long does it to take to increase the temperature
from 0K to 300K?

I am looking forward to getting your reply.

Best regards.
