Thanks a lot for suggestions!

So In fact you give me evidence that it's for my task (see a full set of
loop confirmations and chose most probable) will not good to use implicit
solvent +amd because this will produce very unphysical thermodynamics isn't
it?

In fact I'm dealing with the membrane protein where membrane-embeded part
should be fixed (I would not refine something here) and loops which are
exposed to the solvent must be free to move. In this regards I've tried to
applied gb model of IS with the frozen of not refined part of my protein.
Will it be reasonable to use REMD with such implicit solvent model for
refinement? How It could be possible to really simplify REMD protocol for
such loop prediction (e,g using small number of replicas or not).
Some another suggestions besides Brut force md?
