Thank's,

A follow-up question:
Is it possible to freeze a set of atoms using NAB? (I could not find
this in ambertools 1.4 manual).
For example, by adding some lines to example given in amber tools
manual (listed below)?

This would be required when one uses procedure suggested by Kongsted
and Ryde (reference below).

(AmberTools1.4, page 283)
Here is a typical calling sequence:

molecule m; float x[4000], fret;
m = getpdb_prm( "mymolecule.pdb" );
mm_options( "cut=999., ntpr=50, nsnb=99999, diel=C, gb=1, dielc=1.0" );
mme_init( m, NULL, "::Z", x, NULL);
setxyz_from_mol( m, NULL, x );
// conjugate gradient minimization
conjgrad(x, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme, 0.1, 0.001, 2000 );
// Newton-Raphson minimization\fP
mm_options( "ntpr=1" );
newton( x, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme2, 0.00000001, 0.0, 6 );
// get the normal modes:
nmode( x, 3*m.natoms, mme2, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0);
