Re: [AMBER] Restraining distance between a protein atom and a water of crystalization

Your usage of r1 and r4 are not correct. Look closely at the manual. You
have defined a flat restraint. Move those values away from the harmonic part
of the potential. Read the details in manual carefully to understand the
function being used.

Dear community,
                          I am running simulation of a protein which
contains water molecules in its pdb file. I have prepared topology and
coordinate files by retaining the water molecules present in the pdb file.
By regenerating the pdb file with the help of ambpdb the protein atom and
water molecule oxygen atom numbers and distance in which I am interested are
1735, 2946 and 1.85717666 A respectively. So I prepared the following file
to keep the distance between this two atoms constant

filename: rst.dst
#
# Change in distance
 &rst
 ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat= 1735, 2946, r1= 1.85717666, r2= 1.85717666, r3=
1.85717666, r4= 1.85717666,
     rk2=0.0, rk3=320.0, ir6=1, ialtd=0,
 &end

My input file for minimization of only the water molecules is as bellow

filename: min.in
minimisation with solute restrain
 &cntrl
 imin=1,maxcyc=500,ncyc=250
 ntpr=5,ntr=1, nmropt=1,
 restraint_wt=1000.0
 restraintmask=':1-164', #my protein contains 164 residues
 /
 &wt type='END' /
 DISANG=rst.dist


But after minimization is over the atoms of interest (numer: 1735 and 2946)
are not remaining in the same distance. I am not able to understand where I
am going wrong. Please help. Thank you in advance.
