Dear all,
I'm trying to run a QM/MM umbrella sampling with amber.
In the AMBER Advanced Tutorial 17 for umbrella sampling, the author first run a 2000 step minization then a 50ps NPT equilibration before production run.
But my QM region include 80 atoms, 50ps NPT equilibration would cost me a long time if I use DFT method. So in a attempt I make, I only run a 1ps NPT equilibration with PM6DH+. Although I got what I want, but I do not know if I'm making mistake shorten the NPT run.
So, my question is, before a QM/MM MD production run, can I just run a minimization and NPT equilibration as in
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial17/section2.htm ? If I can, how long should a equilibration run take? If I can not, what procedure should I take?
I'd be very thankful if anyone can answer my question or tell me where to look for the answers.
Thanks for reading.
Best wishes,
Yu
