Subject: RE: AMBER: DNA base planarity restraint
Thanks Carlos. My previous reply may have been evaporated since I did
not receive it. Can I get to know how to use improper dihedrals
restraint with AMBER?
Thanks,
Shaowen
Thanks Carlos. I am testing some simulation annealing method by using
the restraint files provided by
http://amber.scripps.edu/tutorial/dna_NMR/nmr_dna_tutorial.htm
To modify the distance restraint to my system is very cubersome and I
can not understand well why each restraint is posed. Other people (some
HADDOCK works) used base planarity combined with WC, sugar pucker and
phosphate backbone dihedral restraints, and got good results. Their
restraints looks more intuitive to me.
Thanks again,
Shaowen

can you tell us first why you think that you need it?
you can use improper dihedrals but don't do this unless you are very
sure that the existing force field is not correct for your project.
