Dear Amber Users,
               i am new to amber. i am interested to make energy 
minimization with torsional constraints using amber7. 
 
To do this i have tried with simple butane molecule. 
 
with this molecule, i have started with three different starting 
conformations like  Gauche,Eclipsed and Trans. 
 
finally, Gauche and Eclipsed conformations given the same energy  3.2 
kcal/mol with torsion angle of C1-C2-C3-C4 : 65.8 degree and trans 
conformation given 2.3 kcal/mol, with torsion angle C1-C2-C3-C4:180 
degree.
 
but i am interested to calculate the exact energy of the gauche or 
eclipsed or trans conformations. actually, i want to do partial  
energy minimization by fixing the C1-C2-C3-C4  torsion angle to a  
particular  value and all other parameters should be optimise during 
the energy minimization.
 
is it possible by amber. could any one give the answer with proper 
input format.
 
thanks 
S.Anandaramakrishnan
