One important caveat, of course, is a given thermostat's ability to produce velocities that belong to a real NVT ensemble. This is not the case, for instance, with the Berendsen algorithm. It maintains the temperature, but the distribution is not canonical. If the goal is simply to heat up a given species and then proceed with further simulations, the method chosen during heating is probably rather insignificant.

Thanks Dr. Vitaly

Yeap !

 From that point of view I'm seeing the correct temperature drift and
it reaches nicely to 300 K after say, 300ps.
But is it a good integrator ( SD ) to perform this job ? Or, should I
opt for other, like Lep-frog or MD-VV with let say , Berendsen
thermostat?
Please explain a bit.

Thanks

I am going to do US simulation in a protein. For this purpose I have
heated the protein from 0 to 300 K by using 'SD' integrator. But I am
bit confused with this integrator.
How good is to use Langevin Dynamics to heat a protein ?



Look at the temperature of protein and decide.
