Thank you very much for your reply.
I am pretty sure that my simulation results obtained from Sander and Pmemd
are different. The evident difference would be the bond breaking phenomena
in Pmemd which are absent in the case of Sander.
As for the previously mentioned "Permission denied" while I launched "make
test.pmemd", I figured out the problem was that the test script was not set
as executable. After I enabled them as executables, the test process went on
without any trouble. And I looked into the test cases showing "Possible
failure", there are only very subtle differences between the simulation
results got from my machine and the references, which make me believe they
are just rounding errors.
I am very confused. Since my installation could pass those test, does not
that mean I install pmemd correctly? And if that is true, why my simulation
results from Sander and Pmemd are so different?
I would be very grateful if someone can help me with this issue.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best Regards!
