Sir,
The system has some 6952 water molecules (explicit simulation)
can i go with gamma_ln=1?
somehow i missed taup=2.0 in my input of the simulation i had run.
Is taup=2.0 essential?
now i will use ig=-1 also.
i am used to center and image commands in ptraj for reimaging . should i
switch to autoimage of cpptraj?
could u please explain about wrapping artifacts. how can i check it, just
visualize?
Also sir, on doing rms first mass of a dna ligand system;
rms first mass :1-24.P,O3',O5',C3',C4',C5' time 1.0
does this command take care of my ligand :25 also.
or should i use
rms first mass :1-24.P,O3',O5',C3',C4',C5' :25 time 1.0
but this command output says nothing about :25
how can i now ligand is also rms fitted?
