Hello

Note: CHARMM/NAMD specific question

I am currently trying to replace the non-polarizable water given in NAMD martini tutorial with polarizable one in my CG simulations.

Although the relaxation with higher damping happens well, the production run with lower damping keeps showing "atoms moving too fast" error. However, the same was not the case with single bead CG water before with similar simulation parameters except the dielectric constant (reduced from 15 to 2.5 as per literature).

The relevant additions to the martini parameter files w.r.t polarizable water (converted from GROMACS to CHARMM format personally) are given below:

POL D 59.751434 1.4

!No addition to Dihedral or Improper section and exclusions not included as NAMD calculates by itself.

Please let me know if anyone can help with this issue or has done the conversion and performed a successful production run themselves.

Thanks and regards
