Dear All,
In AMBER, there are two methods to use implicit solvent. One is
Generalized-Born
(GB) model , and the other is to use distance-dependent dielectric model. I
have a confusion regarding distance-dependent dielectric model. If I want
to see the solvent effect on protein, i should use this method ( eedmeth=5
and diel = 4)
So to run my simulation i used igb = 0 and ntb = 0 (non periodic). Does
this mean that my simulation is in vacuum? I think it is so. But then how
can the result be appropriate so as to check the effect of solvent on
protein if it is run in vacuum, I mean it will not be correct. And turning
igb = 1 will not let diel = 4 run simultaneously.
I really want to know that using igb=0,ntb=o and diel=4, eemeth=5 the
simulation result will be correct since it is run in vacuum.
Secondly, what will be a simulation in implicit solvent.
I donot know my questions seems logical or I could put my query well enough.
