Dear Amber users and developers,

I’m running SMD to evaluate the PMF of a reaction using the following input file:

SMD: LCOD rxn coord
 &cntrl
  imin=0,
  irest=1, ntx=5,
  ntb=2, pres0=1.0, ntp=1, taup=1.0,
  cut=12.0,
  tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=2.0, ig=-1,
  nstlim=20000, dt=0.001,
  ntpr=20, ntwx=20, ntwr=5000, ioutfm=1,
  ntc=2, ntf=2,
  ifqnt=1, infe=1
 /
 &qmmm
  qmmask = ':169,196-199',
  qmcharge=0,
  qm_theory='PM6',
  qmshake=0,
  qmcut=8.0,
 /
 &smd
   output_file = 'nat_smd25-7.txt'
   output_freq = 20
   cv_file='cv_nat-7.in'
 /

And the cv_file:

 &colvar
  cv_type = 'LCOD'
  cv_ni=4, cv_i = 2947,2647,2650,2647,
  cv_nr=2, cv_r = 1.0,-1.0,
  npath=2, path = 2.26718,-1.9,
  nharm=1, harm = 25.0
 /
 
I wonder which is the minimum number of trajectories that I should run and how to evaluate the PMF (is it just the arithmetic mean of all the values obtained for the total work done?).

Thank you in advance for any insight,

Sincerely,

Ruth
