Test systems are droplets of TIP3P water molecules. All simulations use SHAKE (AMBER input ntf=2, ntc=2); a time step of 2 fs; the Hawkins, Cramer, Truhlar GB model37 (AMBER input igb=1); the default cutoff value of 25 Å for GB radii (AMBER input rgbmax=25); and temperature control with the Langevin thermostat (AMBER input ntt=3), if applicable. Error-correction code (ECC) was switched off on the Tesla cards.
