My suggestion on top of Daniel's is to do vacuum dynamics at 100K for
each system, using a distance-dependant dielectric, for a day of CPU,
watch the movies of the results in 3D to convince yourself that the
conformational space is interesting, then build several hydrated models
for each vacuum trajectory, using a sampling of the vacuum dynamic
frames. It might be worth a few days of this rapid feedback, seeing
how temperature or other variables affect the ensemble. Then you can
start the long computer runs with water with a sense that you've chosen
your investment.
