it depends on what you want to do in your simulation, and the source of the
initial coordinates.
my opinion is that a simulation is probably of poor quality if you added
hydrogens, water and ions and did not carefully equilibrate them before
letting the solute move.
even when you let the solute move, this probably needs to be done in many
steps.
IMO just because you can get a simulation to run doesn't mean it is
correct....
