Hi Peter,
Thanks for pointing out that I wasnt doing an NPT equilibration run...
forgot to turn on LangevinPiston. As for progressive unfolding.. yes I do
see some unfolding.. but nowhere near as drastic as seen in that paper...Let
me retry by equilibrating at 520K with NPT and then doing a 2ns production
run.. shall get back to you all after that.
Again, thanks a lot to everyone for your help.
Regards,
Arun
