AMBER:

Hi, everyone:

I was wondering if anyone can clear this up for me. Could dipolar couplings
between atoms through three bonds be used in NMR refinement in AMBER or not? I
had some problems using H3'P dipolar couplings in DNA annealing. I checked my
annealing protocol and files with dipolar couplings (variables and format)
again and again but could not find the error. What I noticed is that the
examples in the manual used DC between atoms directly bonded, so I wondered if
the dipolar couplings between atoms through several bonds could be used or
not. If those DC could be used, could anybody here help me to find the error?
I was stuck here for a really long time.

What I did
(1)in the annealing protocol, I changed nmropt value to 2 and add the
DIPOLE=z_x8_dc.rst
(2)in dc.rst, I even add a test line #########test at the beginning

What I obtained at the end of the output file
-------
 Alignment info will be read from file: z_x8_dip.rst
 Here are comments from the alignment input file:
 ##############test


 namelist reports error reading &align
-------

It looks like that the system is directing to the DC restraints file and then
stuck there.


Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

This is the file with DC restraints.
