Dear Prof. Duan and Phineus

thank you for all your reply.
I re-evaluated the time need for MD.
the information shown in my previous mail is the heating process . During that process, I use position constraint to mainchain. when I run production MD, I loose all atom. the speed of MD is about 1/5-1/4 comparing with GB method.

another problem arising.
when I release all atoms without restraint, the RMSD of whole protein reach to 4-6 angstrom within 60ps.
that is to say, the whole system crash.

should I restraint something again, like Ca or mainchain?
is it correct to analysis result using traj with distance-restraint, angle-restraint, or position constraint for some atoms?
