Dear Dr. Roe,

Thank you.
Btw, I ran 40 ns MD for a 500 residue molecule. I didnt set any value for
the "iwrap", so I think it was default as iwrap =0.

This is my md.in:
*#running equilibration for 10ns to give the sys time to relax*
* &cntrl*
* imin=0,*
* irest=1,*
* ntx=7,*
* ntb=2,*
* pres0=1.0,*
* ntp=1,*
* taup=2.0,*
* cut=10.0,*
* ntr=0,*
* ntc=2,*
* ntf=2,*
* tempi=300.0,*
* temp0=300.0,*
* ntt=3,*
* gamma_ln=1.0,*
* nstlim=5000000,*
* dt=0.002,*
* ntpr=2500,*
* ntwx=2500,*
* ntwr=2500*
* /*

This time I run:
*radgyr out gag_RoG.dat mass :1-500*

And I got the result as attached. According to the plot, COULD I draw a
conclusion that the model at the bottom is more stable than the upper one
regardless their values??

Im wondering if there is any threshold to determine that the model is
stable (or reaching some reasonable compactness?).
As in my case the values are around 25+.

Thank you and hope to get your advice.

Regards,
Chinh
