18. In the coarse-grained MD simulations with CG models which are very close to the real chemistry, like the one used in this work, the real friction is usually not included because (a) the degree of coarsegraining is not too large and thus maintains a reasonable accuracy close to the atomistic model and (b) it is generally not feasible to estimate accurately the friction coefficient a priori due to the insufficient time-scale separation between the atomistic and CG descriptions. In contrast, for coarser CG models where there is a clear separation of time scales between the atomistic and CG descriptions, physical friction forces can be explicitly taken into account in the equations of motion, as there have been a few works; see, for example, ref 12.
