Hello,
I´m looking for some advice with regard to using AMBER /Antechamber with xleap.
I had tried to build up a complex with 8 Porphyrine (Pheophorbide a) in a "bridge with N, C and H" that could support all 8. I had done that with xleap, using the command sequence. Before connecting them , I had loaded lib files, frcmod files for each Pheophorbide (just once) and the files for the bridge.
The first 4 Pheophorbides caused no problem but when I connected 6 and then 8, xleap had indicated that the distance between 2 pheophorbides were too small. But, nevertheless, the programm has created the lib file, the topology and the coordinate files.
I had taken a look with VMD how those structures look like and I had seen that 2 Pheophorbides were crossing each other.
Unfortunately, when I used NAMD to start my simulation with 0° K, NAMD stopped the simulation, saying that a certain atom was moving too fast and as consequence other atoms too...
It has happened with 5,6 and 8 Pheophorbides.
Looking at the user guide, I had seen a command "impose", that somebody could set a distance between atoms.
My question is: is there a command that I can use after using the command "sequence", that forces all 8 Pheophorbides to keep a distance that cannot bring problems to a simulation?
I would be very, very glad if somebody could share his or her ideas and experiences about this topic with me.
Thanks in advance,
