Thanks for the previous help - you recommended the NMA from nab over nmode.
I've been fiddling around with nab, and can't seem to get it to do a simple
conjgrad minimization. On the first step it will give an enormously large
negative energy, and then change the position of one of the atoms by an
equally large number. Could you also explain the fourth argument in
mme_init?
my min.nab file and output are:
molecule p;
float x[ 4000 ], fret, dummy[2];
p = getpdb("run19.pdb");
readparm(p, "run19.prmtop");
mm_options("cut=999, ntpr=1, nsnb=9999, diel=R94, gb=0, temp0=300.0");
mme_init( p, NULL, "::ZZZ", dummy, NULL);
setxyz_from_mol( p, NULL, x);
//conj grad min
conjgrad(x, 3*p.natoms, fret, mme, 0.1, 10.0, 1);
//conjgrad(float x[], int n, float fret, func, float rmsgrad, dfpred,
maxiter)
setmol_from_xyz(p, NULL, x);
putpdb("cg.min.pdb",p);
output:
