Maybe. What was substituted? I mean if you start putting in lysines or arginines along the TM regions where there are supposed to closely packed nonpolar residues I would expect to see a bunch of effects within 10-50ns... You can apply external forces to your system in gromacs through the use of pulling in order to calculate PMF.

Sorry I don't understand the question here (compromise between both of the methods?) I mentioned the refence to give you an idea that "not all hydrophobic enviroments behave the same" when it comes to interacting with the protein... You will have to judge how much of that paper specifically applies to your individual case... -- ================================================================== Peter C.
