hello Justin:

  thank you very much for your such kind explanations. It is quite helpful.

I am wondering how many CPU did you usually use for the membrane simulations? and how many ns/day can you get the best if CPU is not a problem with Gromacs? I am very confused about this question since some one claimed that they can use optimized PMF/F paramters to achieve even 100ns/day for 20,000 atoms system. I also try to use g_tune_pme to get a better performance, but the results are not so satisfied...... Can you give me some advices for this?

thank you very much.

best
Albert

Ideally, one would like to use a single thermostat for the whole system, but in practice, especially for heterogeneous systems, the heat exchange between different groups can be different. Hence the protein, lipids, and aqueous solvent are coupled separately. They are of sufficient size to justify their own group (note, for instance, that ions are not coupled separately).

With respect to the comm-grps, since the system is basically an interface, the lipids and aqueous layers can slide with respect to one another, generating no net COM motion, but each layer may actually be have a net velocity, which would lead to artifacts.
