-In this exercise you have to run many similar simulations. Try to automatize as much as possible.+  * You'll have to run many similar simulations. Try to automatize as much as possible
 +  * The first two task can be run directly on the login node, i.e. without using bsub. 
 +  * The third task should be run on 4 cores with ''bsub -n 4''

 From these forces the free energy difference can be obtained via integration: From these forces the free energy difference can be obtained via integration:
 \begin{equation} \begin{equation}
-\Delta A = \int_a^b F(x)\, dx+\Delta A = -\int_a^b F(x)\, dx
 \end{equation} \end{equation}
  
 A dissociation profile can be obtained by choosing the closest distance $d_{min}$ as lower integration-bound: A dissociation profile can be obtained by choosing the closest distance $d_{min}$ as lower integration-bound:
 \begin{equation} \begin{equation}

-Take the solvated system from the [[exercise:nacl_md | first exercise]] and add the constraint for a distance of 2.9 Å. Then run 100.000 MD steps MD at 350K. From the MD output calculate the average Largange multiplier. As a check for convergence you can divide the trajectory into two parts and calculate the average for each part separately. Once you are convinced of the result you can use it to complete the table given below. From the complete table calculate the free energy dissociation profile via numerical integration. +Take the solvated system from the [[nacl_md | first exercise]] and add the constraint for a distance of 2.9 Å.
