Hi all,
I am going to use the free energy of conformational changes module in NAMD to study the free energy profile roting of one bond of my inhibitor. But just as I am a newbie in this class of calculation, I have something uncertain and want to know.
In my configuration file, I have define as following.
freeEnergy on
freeEnergyConfig {
urestraint {
dihe pmf (MAIN,1,C16) (MAIN,1,N18) (MAIN,1,C20) (MAIN,1,N21) barr=20, low=-180.0, high=180.0
}
mcti {
task = stepup
equiltime = 50 ps
accumtime = 250 ps
numsteps = 36
print = 1 ps
}
}
I have the following question:
1. I don't know which value for barr is suitable for my molecule. I just take 20 as described in the use guide.
2. Which values I should take in equiltime and accumtime?
3. How to judge I have done a succesful simulation if we don't have any experimental data about the conformation change.
Any commment will be appreciated!
Sincerely yours
