Re: AMBER: Temperature Drift in MD (NAB)

Only atoms in the bases 19-26 were allowed to move by fitting
restraints in the mme_init command.

The typical input file goes as
  mm_options("cut=25.0, nsnb=100, gamma_ln=50, temp0=300, tempi=50,
gb=1, kappa=0.19");
  mme_init(molMD, ":19-26:", "::ZZZ", dummy, NULL);
  md(3*molMD.natoms, 100000, xyz, f, v, mme);
  setmol_from_xyz(molMD, NULL, xyz);
  putpdb("test.pdb",molMD);

The other parameters are kept as their default value. (time step is 1fs)

Thanks!
