Re: [AMBER] ntx value for MMPBSA normal mode analysis

If you search for the subroutine "create_nmode_input" in
$AMBERHOME/src/mm_pbsa/mm_pbsa_createinput.pm you should be able to find the
text for the input file that is created when nmode is specified with
mm_pbsa.pl. Within this file change ntx=0 to ntx=1 in the nmode input file.
Please note that within this subroutine there is a sander minimization input
file *and *nmode input file created, so make sure to edit the correct one.
Then do a 'make clean' and 'make install' within the $AMBERHOME/src/mm_pbsa/
directory to compile the mm_pbsa.pl with these changes. Note that this
changes the source code and all subsequent runs nmode calculations will be
performed with ntx=1 unless you change it back after this calculation.

Good luck!
