Dear Developers/Users,
I am new to AMBER and am wondering if the following calculation is supported
in the existing version:
I need to run a specific MD simulation with the following features:
(1) periodic boundary conditions (2D or 3D); essentially, I have a
periodic monolayer of Guanine molecules
(2) there are 8 molecules in the unit cell forming two tetrads, each
tetrad consists of 4 molecules forming a
square so that you can imagine that the unit cell consists of two
squares with 4 molecules each;
we would like to run an MD simulation
with the angle between the two squares fixed. The angle cannot be
defined by just 3 atoms, more atoms should be
involved (e.g. 4 atoms from each tetrad, 8 altogether), however, many
definitions can be given. Is it possible?
(3) in the end, a thermodynamic integration will be performed with
respect to the generalised force
associated with this variable (the angle) - however, this is easy to do
separately , so no problem here.
(4) can one calculate the vibrations for the given geometry? Most likely
- yes.
(5) are H-bonding interactions between Guanine molecules described
reasonably well? Which force
field (from those implemented) should be best for that system?
I'd appreciate your quick answer to these questions,
Best wishes,
--
