Hi Ilya,
That's correct, as long as you use a velocity restart file (along with coordinates) you'll be ok (in theory :)).

Yeah it makes sense, though it should not matter. A way to maintain temperature is to reinitialize ever so often. I don't believe I am reinitializing my velocities though because I provide a .restart.vel file.

Ilya,
When you restart, your "distribution" of velocities should behave as they did before your calculation stopped; in other words, when you restart, the velocity distribution should appear as if you never restarted the calculation, and should look as if it had been going continuously.
Put another way, your "instantaneous" velocity for each atom when you restart should be the same velocity that rach had when your calculation ended.
Does this make sense?
Richard

Below is configuration file. Does any one see any obvious mistakes? Can reinitializing the velocities when I restart a run cause the protein to fall apart?
Thanks,

I am running a membrane protein simulation using the CHARMM 27 forcefield and I my protein seems to be falling apart. Could it be because I am using CHARMM27 instead of CHARMM22?  I am also using TIP3 and POPE.
Thanks,
Ilya
