I actually don't need different force constants for restraints. By chance
when i was playing with the force constant , i noticed this. After that i
become suspicious about my calculation. There should not be any
contribution of this force constant on the part of the hessian from
non-restrained atoms.
Here is an example of two inputs that i used with same coordinate,topology
and reference coordinates for restraints.
obtain gas-phase normal modes
&data
ntrun = 1, nsave=1, ndiag=2, cut=999.0, ntx=1,
nprint=1,
drms = 5, maxcyc=1,
scnb=2.0, scee=2.0,idiel=1,
nvect=1,ntx=1,ntxo=1,icons=1,
&end
group
1
RES 35 279
END
END

For hessian calculation, i used nmode.f .Inside subroutine fillm, I put a
print statement inside the loop. I suppose the first value
that i will get from this will be a(1,1) which does not have anything to
the with the force constant on residues 35-279. However i got two
different values for a(1,1) as well as some other elements.
Am I doing something wrong?
thanks again,
