Dear All, I'm using charmm force field for simulation of a protein ligand system. I have read the paper "implementation of charmm in gromacs by Bjelkmar, JCTC' They have used the following set up
coulombtype = PME rcoulomb = 1.2 vdwtype = switch rvdw = 1.2 rvdw-switch = 1.0 Now, with this same set up if I use rlist = 1.2 rlistlong =1.4 It is showing the following warning "For energy conservation with switch/shift potentials, rlist should be 0.1 to 0.3 nm larger than rvdw." Now, if I try to increase the rlist as rlist =1.3 Coulomb part is showing warning as "With coulombtype = PME, rcoulomb must be equal to rlist** If you want optimal energy conservation or exact integration use** PME-Switch*" I read few posts in this issue But the point, if I use rlist=rvdw then the dynamics will not be proper as in the neighbor list updating and energy calculations. Now, the any kind of change in the rlist essentially enforcing to change the coul cut-off. So, rlist and coul-cut-off are not independent of each other. Can any one suggest me the best possible use of these parameters? I am using gromacs-4.5.5 for simulations.
