Hi,

I am doing REMD simulation of small peptides in explicit solvent using NAMD
2.9 version. I want to know more about the way NAMD generates temperatures
for replicas. It uses an exponential formula, but I want to know the reason
as to why NAMD uses it. Is there any reference from literature for the same
because I have come across other methods of generating temperatures based
on potential energy distributions of the system which have been described
in literature .

What is the advantage of using exponential distribution of temperatures for
replicas of system?

Best,
Divya
