If it takes over 5 minutes to reverse a call, it is not clear and indisputable.

And I have a second one - updated tutorials for.@GMX_TWEET version 2024! These are new and distinct from the other set of tutorials published a few years ago (those will get a refresh, too). I hope they are useful! #compchem #OA #GROMACS.

One simulation is one observation. You wouldn't run an enzyme assay one time and claim an error bar of +/- 0. Same with simulations. Run replicates - different starting velocities, different initial configurations, etc. And plan your analysis! Again, don't just repeat tutorials.

Length of the simulation and assessment of convergence are CRUCIAL. Just because a tutorial does 100 ns does NOT mean that is enough time for your application. Maybe it is, maybe not. You have to prove it. You also have to run replicates. Full stop.

As someone who writes a lot of tutorial material (new ones just accepted for publication, stay tuned!), I see my protocols parroted back in lots of papers. Tutorials are highly idealized systems, for didactic purposes. When doing "real" science, you have many decisions to make.

Thank you to @spy_sci for the kind words; I will emphasize everything said in this thread. Anyone doing MD or thinking about it - please read. So many common problems that I have seen as a reviewer or editor. Computational work requires deep expertise, it's not an "add-on.".
Came across this open advertisement for collaboration on one of the bioinformatics and molecular modeling groups on facebook. This felt so wrong to me. If you want to do Molecular Dynamics Simulations but do not have expertise or knowledge then this 🧵 is for you.

Today, we officially say adeus and boa sorte to @mdpoleto, who was an outstanding postdoc in our group for ~4 years. Thank you for all your contributions and best wishes as you start your independent career at the University of São Paolo!
