Re: namd: adding water molecules

hi Elsa;

i had the rigidBonds set to all, so setting it to none it run without
problems.

i have two extra concerns:
* how this setting will affect my simulation (compare to setting
rigidBonds to all)
* i have to compare this simulation (with water inside the active site)
vs others (without water, with substrate)that i already run. Do you
think i'd run them again using rigidBonds none, or i can still compare them?

thanks again;

PS: hi Michel; the active site is close to the surface and i checked the
distances and only one of the oxygen is 2.48 A from the protein (the
rest is 2.92 and up). So, i don't think that it is the problem. Thanks
for answering

good night,

sergio
