HI,

I am trying to simulate the behavior of short peptides in an aqueous solution.

When I look at the log of the progress of initial minimization runs and longer production runs I am seeing crazy variations in the pressure, including negative values and positive values well into the 100's of bar.

The temperature is equilibrating and stable, so I am thinking that I have missed some salient feature of the barostat.

In one case I am not setting any of the relevant barostat parameters, relying on the default values to work - is there someplace where i can find waht the defaults values would be?

        In another case I am using the following settings in the .mdp file:

integrator      = md
nsteps          = 50000
dt              = 0.002
nstlist         = 10
rlist           = 1.0
coulombtype     = pme
rcoulomb        = 1.0
vdw-type        = cut-off
rvdw            = 1.0
tcoupl          = v-rescale
tc-grps         = protein non-protein
tau-t           = 0.1 0.1
ref-t           = 298 298
Pcoupl          = Berendsen
tau-p           = 1.0
compressibility = 1e-5 1e-5 1e-5 0 0 0
ref-p           = 1.0
nstenergy       = 100
define          = -DPOSRES


Can someone point me at some relevant information on how to troubleshoot large rapid pressure variations?

Thanks

Warren Gallin
