Re: Error in the Continuation TMD simulation Run.

Dear all

When running targeted MD simulations of a substrate entering into a
membrane protein binding pocket the substrate reaches its final destination
in a few ns although the total simulation time is 100ns, The issue is that
the RMSD distance does not evolve linearly in the specified time.

MY other issue is the continuation of from the last step when running TMD,
to make a total of 100ns, and to easily queue in my jobs at the cluster, i
have been creating dependencies but the sugar reaches its binding pocket in
the first 4 ns so on continuation from the last step in order to make
100ns, NAMD just runs the ordinary equilibration since the sugar is already
at the binding site, Am not sure if am running this in the right way, Am
grateful for any assistance and attached please is the configuration file
that am using.
