Thanks Enrico!

Just wondering. How fast is it? Calling gromacs must have a lot of overhead. Also, do you call mdrun or does g_energy evaluate the energy?

Hi,

Although I don't work with MC simulation, I have used Gromacs to obtain 
energies and others
protein features in my Evolutionary Algorithms (EA).

In general lines, I created a script that calls Gromacs programs and the output 
of these
programs, such as g_energy (I read its xvg file), I stored it at a specific 
file which is
read by my algorithm and its values are put into my data structure. I call 
Gromacs either
implicit or explicit solvent. 

My project is working with EA until now. However, the integration with GROMACS 
is able to
work with other kind of algorithms such as MC. Actually, we have idea to work 
with MC. But,
I don't know when it will be possible. If you want, we can talk about join 
these work.

Best regards,

      Hi!

      I would like to use gromacs to perform Monte Carlo simulations in implicit
      solvent of a protein near a surface. The protein is treated as a rigid 
body
      whereas the surface is fix.

      I see that there are plans to code MC into gromacs:

      http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Programming_Guide/Monte_Carlo

      Is there a preliminary version?

      If not, I wonder whether anybody has tried to do MC with gromacs using 
IMD and
      MDDriver:

      http://www.baaden.ibpc.fr/projects/mddriver/

      Besides this. Is there an easy way to obtain the force field energy of a 
system
      using gromacs? Would I have to run a 0-steps MD and read out the energy? 
I know
      that this would have a big overhead in a MC simulation, but it might be 
worth
      trying.

      Thanks,
