Hi All,
  Does any one know if Langevin temperature control, implemented in NAMD,
leads to correct equilibrium averages in the canonical ensemble?

  I know Berendsen, with a weak coupling constant, may lead to correct
averages but incorrect dynamics; but there doesn't seem to be much info on
the Langevin method.

  Anyone have any thoughts on which is better for temperature control?
All I want is equilibrium properties, so I'm not to worried about
dynamics.

Thanks,
Ed
