Hello Sangita,

Please don't come to conclusions that constant pH will work only with 25 degree cel. Prof. David case suggested to get some experience with implicit solvent models first before working on constant pH method. Earlier we (me and Dr. Don Bashford) compare constant pH and conventional GB methods for a protein system which provided similar conclusions in most cases. If your system is considerably big you need to add some kind of conformational sampling method such as aMD to assist sampling.

P.S. Dr.Don could you please provide your insights which will provide more clear picture here.

Regards,
Kumar

Thanks for reply.

I have to do two different simulation at pH 5 & temperature 50 and pH 5
& temperature 55 degree celcius. I don't have to do for range of
temperature. So I was asking that is it possible to do MD at higher
temperature at pH 5.

Now I got the answer that constant pH is for 25 degree celcius.

Is there any option to do MD at above two condition.
