Dear David,
I realised the mistakes in the input file. so i tried doing the centre
of mass distance restraint for two alanine residues seperated by 20
angstroms and the input for restraint is
*******************************
&rst
iat= -1,-1, nstep1=1, nstep2=5000,
iresid=1,irstyp=0,ifvari=0,ninc=0,imulti=0,ir6=0,ifntyp=0,
r1=0.00000, r2=20.0000, r3=20.0000, r4=99.0000,
rk2=1.0000, rk3=1.0000,
igr1 = 1,0,
grnam1 (1) ='CA',
igr2 = 2,0,
grnam2 (1) ='CA',
/
******************************
I defined the ifvari =0 but still it didnt gave any restraint value in
the out put file. It reads the restraint but not the r1,r2,r3,r4 and rk2
and rk3 values.
i.e
*********************************
Begin reading energy term weight changes/NMR restraints
WEIGHT CHANGES:
DUMPFREQ 10 0 0.000000 0.000000 0 0
** No weight changes given **
RESTRAINTS:
Requested file redirections:
LISTIN = POUT
DISANG = distcom.RST
DUMPAVE = umb.20
Restraints will be read from file: distcom.RST
Here are comments from the DISANG input file:
**************************
COM ( -1)-COM ( -1) NSTEP1= 1 NSTEP2=
5000
R1 = 0.000 R2 = 0.000 R3 = 0.000 R4 = 0.000 RK2 = 0.000 RK3 =
0.000
Rcurr: NAN Rcurr-(R2+R3)/2: NAN MIN(Rcurr-R2,Rcurr-R3): NAN
Number of restraints read = 1
Done reading weight changes/NMR restraints
********************************
For a simple system like alanine even a simple distance restraint is
sufficient but for the 12 base pairs DNA how to do it?
So I tried the simple distance restraint value with near by atom of COM
of the individual DNA, then it has read the restriant and gave DUMPAVE
values also, but by this DNA's get opened up after certain windows.
So i would like to know what more modifications are needed in the
distance restraint file?
Thanks in advance
