Re: [AMBER] NMR distance restraints read but not used

OK. Two things:


[1] I just checked the structure output from the problematic calculation (Amber10; sander.MPI; bugfixes applied through #35). The input structure was folded as expected -- however, the minimized AMBER output structure is now unfolded.

Here is the information for the first distance restraint:

# 49 VAL HA 52 LYS H 4.11 (#peak 13 #SUP 1.00 #QF 0.99)
 &rst
  ixpk= 13, nxpk= 0, iat= 810, 868, r1= 1.30, r2= 1.80, r3= 4.11, r4= 4.61,
      rk2=20.0, rk3=20.0, ir6=1, ialtd=0,
 &end

Information concerning this restraint in the output:
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     First atom Last atom curr. value target deviation penalty
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  HA VAL 49 -- H LYS 52: 3.143 4.610 1.467 0.000 d 13: 0

It's almost as if the distance restraints are not being applied during the calculation, allowing the input structure to unfold during the minimization.


 

[2] I ran a calculation using the exact same data as above (problematic results) on another cluster (Amber10; sander.MPI; bugfixes applied through #17). This gives results as expected:

   NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
    100 -3.9595E+03 1.1294E+00 1.4438E+01 CZ3 840

 BOND = 40.6235 ANGLE = 95.1117 DIHED = 736.2988
 VDWAALS = -436.9454 EEL = -3020.7003 EGB = -1996.4825
 1-4 VDW = 276.2185 1-4 EEL = 316.0835 RESTRAINT = 30.3154
 EAMBER = -3989.7922
 NMR restraints: Bond = 1.435 Angle = 0.000 Torsion = 0.382
===============================================================================

Both the input and minimized AMBER output structures are folded (as expected).




The information from [2] suggests to me there is nothing wrong with my input files, and there is something wrong with my sander.MPI binary (bugfixes applied through #35). I will run with LISTIN=POUT and send the results (if you still think that will help to debug).
