I want a given molecule (20 atoms) to be rigid. Is there a better way that 
works for any kind of molecule (not just water)? I believe freezing it should 
be equivalent to keeping it rigid and removing the center of mass motion.

My concern is it doesn't look like the typical VAC I find in the literature (as 
in <http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~lucky/Democritus/Theory/vaf.html>), and I 
don't know how to quantitatively analyze this function.

There are 459 solvent (acetonitrile) molecules. Not too many, I know, but it's 
box size of ~40 Å.

Around 295 K.

Yes, or so I believe. I run a 50 ps equilibration first, and use the resulting 
checkpoint with -t


Thank you,
