Dear David,

thanks a lot for your suggestions.

For simulated annealing (200ps) I am using following steps for heating and
cooling (below). Then I have a script to loop it until 200ps simulation
until to 10ns.
I am using 600K has high temperature as reported for many cases in the
literature. I actually heat to high temperature
much faster followed by slow cooling. Could you please suggest me is this
flow chart is fine for simulated annealing in explicit solvent.

Is there any advantage to perform regular MD production (for complete 10ns)
over multiples of simulated annealing?
I have selected block of 200ps instead of whole 10ns. so that I can check
simulation...

#Simple simulated annealing
algorithm:
#

#from steps 0 to 10000: heat the system to 600K
#from steps 5001-180000: re-cool to low temperatures with long tautp
#from steps 18001-200000: final cooling with short tautp
