\begin{checklist}{Choose an appropriate timestep for stability and avoiding energy drift}

\item This depends on factors such as the use of constraints in the system (e.g. for all-atom systems constraining hydrogen bonds can allow the use of a slightly longer timestep; 2 fs is relatively typical)
1134
+
\item Determine the highest-frequency motion in the system (typically bond vibrations unless bond lengths are constrained)
1135
+
\item As a first guess, set the timestep to approximately one tenth of the highest-frequency motion's characteristic period.
1136
+
\item Test this choice by running a simulation in the microcanonical ensemble, and ensure that energy is conserved.
