Relaxation Estimation of RMSD in Molecular Dynamics Immunosimulations

Figure 6

Fit and extrapolation of R M S D plateau values for increasing 𝑡 o s e t . (a) 10 ns trajectory1, (b) 50 ns trajectory2, (c) 200 ns trajectory3; see Table 1. Red circles represent plateau values 𝑎 ( 𝑡 o s e t ) the error bars denote their asymptotic standard errors. The solid blue curve shows a nonlinear least-squares fit of (3) to the plateau values 𝑎 ( 𝑡 o s e t ) . From the latter fit the limiting plateau value 𝑎 0 = 𝑎 ( 𝑡 o s e t = ) was extracted and is shown as a solid horizontal line together with its asymptotic standard error as obtained from the fit of (3).
