Hi
I am glad Dave caught that !
indeed, the final 'a.' is my way of signing off, not the chosen option ;-)
As for 'it works' I clearly mean thermodynamics. That I can actually
justify analytically. The kinetics just happens to be correct also. We
did alanine_10 and counted transitions between basins and we get the
same results with 2fs or 4fs within error bars. It is of course harder
to formalize that result. Large conformational changes are probably 'ok'
in time scale (as 'ok' as with 2 fs..) since the changes with HMR
conserve local mass and moments of inertia within each residue.
