Hi,
I am trying to constraint angle in time-averaged protocol on a 20pb DNA.
In the begining i did a mistake and used type='ANGAVE' for torsion angles,
so my first question is : the value of the angles constraint i got after
the MD, can i use them or they are wrong?
After noticing my mistake, i used TORAVE but the problem is that my
smulation crashed directly after less than 100 ps with the same input.
is anybody used this kind of restraints and can give me some advice ?
thanks for ur help,
Josephine


my md.in is the following:

     Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,
     deviation is too large

     Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
     problem with the energetics of the system.
