well the hybrid solvent REMD method is a REMD variant that uses the hybrid
solvent only in the exchange, in order to reduce the number of replicas
that are needed. I'm not aware of and REMD simulation on an unfolded
protein in explicit water than has been reported to work... and the hybrid
method reduces the number of replicas, but also uses implicit
solvent during the exchange and explicit salt that you desire has never
been tested to my knowledge. You might be able to adapt it, but you would
need to determine how to treat the explicit ions in the implicit water,
which can be a real challenge. You would need to change the code as well.
You might want to look into similar methods such as REST and see if they
might be appropriate.
I don't mean to dissuade you from the study, just to point out that your
planned use has not been tested, and there are good reasons to think it
will not work without some significant changes.
