Typical maximization steps

Hi NAMD users,

I have set the no. of steps of minimization for my job to be 500000. Is
that a bit too high? This job is to minimize a system of
biotin-streptavidin immersed in water sphere.

Total atoms: 47000+
No.of biotin-streptavidin atoms ~ 7000
Water ~ 40000

Could someone please give an estimate of no. of steps for minimization and
equilibration for such a system (nearest order or magnitude).

Your suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sourav
