As you mentioned its still useful for Jarzynzski type things. Also, I use it for a number of other nefarious purposes such as inserting small molecules into bilayers at various locations in an automated fashion. I'm not calculating the free energy, but its nice to be able to start with a ghost particle and turn it into a real one. Its much more reliable than trying to insert the molecule than energy minimize, especially when setting up hundreds of simulations.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Justin<BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">--------------------------</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Justin MacCallum<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">PhD Student</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Departement of Biological Sciences</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">University of Calgary</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">email: <A href="mailto:jlmaccal@ucalgary.ca">jlmaccal@ucalgary.ca</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">web: moose.bio.ucalgary.ca</FONT></P> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
