Re: langevin with waterbox ?

In fact, I am quite confused too. I'd like to know how to do NVT MD
in NAMD except using temperature rescaling method? (for example, it seems
that there is no Nose-Hoover method?) Also, please correct me if I am
wrong that if there is explicit solvent in simulation box, what would
lagevin dynamics mean? (I think lagevin dynamics has already taken into
accout the
interaction of solvent with solute, so if we use explicit solvent, we do
not use lagevin dynamics.)

Thanks,

Lei
