Hi Jerome,
Thanks for the quick response. I intend to restart inbetween windows, but had
trouble with the configure file. Here is the FEP part in my NAMD configure
file, which is for all the windows, but there's no way to finish the
calculations in a single run, therefore I'd divide into multiple runs and
restart inbetween windows, and wonder if you could give me some hints on how
to do that. Thanks much.
#FEP PARAMETERS
source fep.tcl
fep on
fepFile S2A.fep
fepCol B
fepOutFreq 10
fepOutFile S2A.fepout
fepEquilSteps 20000
set nSteps 120000
set DLambda 0.1
set init { 0.0000001 0.000001 0.00001 0.0001 0.001 0.01 0.05 0.1 }
set end { 0.9 0.95 0.99 0.999 0.9999 0.99999 0.999999 0.9999999 }
runFEPlist $init $nSteps
runFEP 0.1 0.9 $dLambda $nSteps
runFEPlist $end $nSteps
I'm doing a mutation of Ser to Ala in a solvated system.
