I am no expert in implicit solvent simulations but I think for these simulations it is better to use stochastic dynamic integrators with no pbc (instead of NVT) and infinite (or very large) cut-off distances because there is no actual water molecule in your simulation box and [normally] you do not

Hi Albert, Regarding you first question, your protein is relatively big and in my opinion 28 replicas is not much for a protein made of 290 AA with the temperature range of 280-530. One thing that you can do is to use a lower value for exchange probability to have less replicas. By doing this the
