Jorgen,

You could do this if you don't want to use long range electrostatics or are willing to use a vary large space between slabs. NAMD does not have a 2D or corrected 3D Ewald method to be used with a slab geometry, unless this is being added in 2.7. There is the old multipole method (DPMTA) code that is no longer compiled in the NAMD binaries, but I was never able to get it to compile with 2.6.

Brian

By the way, has anyone succeeded in compiling the DPMTA code with NAMD 2.6 and is it extremely slow?

Hi all,

I would like to simulate 10 peptides and their interactions on a silver
surface - I am not too interested in the beginning to simulate quantify the
interaction from the surface. I am planning to simply freeze the surface
atoms and add a vdw potential to them as I am mainly interested in the
peptide interactions in the beginning. I have not been able to find any
papers using namd for this - has anybody tried?

Thanks in advance

Best

Jorgen
