Find a published article that describes a similar simulation and adapt their method suitably. Otherwise describe your method more thoroughly (e.g. how large was the box, what ensemble did you use, equilibration regime, etc.) and maybe someone has some judgement they can share with you. Mark Hi Mark:
Thanks for your advise. Because
the PE model is built by one of my officemate, i did not konw its
details.
The cell length about my PVME
model is 4.5 nm which is big enough for a PVME chain possesses all trans
conformation. The ensemble is NVT with the control file Pcoupl = no after
10ns NPT simulation to reach the experimental density. The runtime for NVT is
5ns from which the relax time for end to end vector is anaylzed. The relax
time is about 1ns. So i think the system has been relaxed
enough.
Is there any error in my
process?
Maybe the residue parameter for
PVME is also needed for discuss. They are:
