is heating and equlibration is required for implicit simulation ?
Because in tutorial for simulation of DNA in implicit condition there is only
relaxing the
molecule then molecular dynamics run at tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0
so should I directly run molecular dynamics at constant pH after minimization?
