Dear Amber users,
Recently, I performed molecular dynamics of the liquid water in TIP3P
model. After the system was heated to 300K and equilibrated in 300 ps, I
run the producution simulation. The temperature was controlled using the
Langevin dynamics (ntt=3, gamma_ln=2.0) durig the production simulation.
However, the equilibrium temperature (305K) was slightly higher than the
target temperature which was 300K. So, I wonder, if it would make a
difference when I set the Gamma_ln to a larger value (5.0 for instance) ?
What should I do to effectively drive the temperature to the target ? And,
if I want to use the Andersen thermostat instead, what proper value of
vrand should set ? I see few people use the Andersen thermostat, are there
any disadvantages for this thermostat ?
Best,
Jinfeng
