[AMBER] Non bonded interactions

Dear all,

I want to simulate collagen model peptides and I am trying to decide cutoff
for non bonded interactions. Below I have results from the last step of a
1000 step minimisation. Using 8A instead of 12A results in approx. 50%
reduction in time.
I am just wondering if I should go on with 8A for my MD simulations. I want
to do rather long MD runs (~50ns) and reducing time by 1/2 will be great. I
will be using PME for dynamics.

The solute in a water-box was created using

solvateoct model TIP3PBOX 12.0 iso

And initial box length is ~78 Angstroms

Thanks for your time.

Lekpa.
