Thanks a lot ...
Our distances are between a few Angstr (e.g. 2.5) and a few tens of
Angstr (e.g 40) between a 2 component system. For the dissociation PMF
calculation we'd need a resolution of 0.05 Angstr (center of the PMF
window would change by 0.05 Angstr minimal distance) ...
Basically. we are doing the types of simulations described by Bouvier
and Lavery (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja901761a) and we are
looking for an alternative to the original code (a mixture of tcl forces
and C code implemented for NAMD) because we encountered some
RATTLE-related problems when using it with our systems as well
performance limitations (especially scaling) ...
Best
Vlad
