Re: [AMBER] problem with targeted md simulation

Hi again,

So I'm attaching my ptraj.in file as well as all the files associated with
it. This is the command I used for ptraj:

ptraj orig_nowat.top <ptraj.in> ptraj.out

I should also have mentioned that my system is comprised of a 100 residue
receptor and 7 residue peptide fragment ligand and the ligand extends the
anti parallel beta sheet of the receptor upon binding.
Essentially, we've taken the pdb file for the system (which is also our
reference structure) and shifted the position of the ligand upwards by two
hydrogen bonds. With the targeted md simulation we want to force the
conformational change of our structure to the final state (the NMR
structure). In order to do this, we thought that it would make sense to
designate tgtfitmask to be the ligand CA atoms and the tgtrmsmask to be
the ligand CA atoms and the CA atoms from the beta strand of the receptor
which make up the binding interface. Hope this clarifies a few things.

Thanks again!

Maria
