Hi Ross:
One should not forget about your tutorials!

Conjugated gradient minimization
&cntrl
  imin=1, maxcyc=3000, ntmin=0,
  cut=10, ntb=1, ntpr=50, ntr=1
/
Keep protein and ligand fixed
32.0
RES 79 341
END
END

gave no errors with pmemd (I had run steepest descent min with sander).
===

During heating and first dynamics, I want to keep restrained also the
polar heads of POPC lipid. With sander.MPI that would be

restraintmask="79-341 | :POP.O2, P1, O3, O4, O1, C15, C11, N, C12, C13, C14"
restraint_wt=32,
nmropt=1

Is it any example of restraining atoms with GROUP in the tutorials? If:

Keep protein, ligand and POPC head fixed
32.0
Title one
RES 1 78
END
Title two
ATOM ???
Title three
RES 79-341
END
END


where 1-78 are POPC, 341 ligand, and the rest protein. From the
ambmask pdb for the input complex I can read atom numbers but the are
many repeating POPC units. I must be completely on a wrong way.
Thanks
francesco


I can read the atom numbers for POPC from the ambmask pdb file for the
complex protei-ligand in a box, but there are many POPC units
