Hi Jason,

Thanks a lot for your response, and I'm sorry that I forgot to attach the
mdin file.

Here is the first minimization file:

* &cntrl*
* nmropt=1,*
* imin=1, ntx=1, irest=0, ntpr=50, ntf=1, ntb=1,*
* cut=9.0, nsnb=10, ntr=1, maxcyc=1000, ncyc=500, ntmin=1,*
* &end*
*Group input for DNA restraints: 25 kcal/mol.*
* 25.0*
*RES 1 73*
*END*
*END*
*DISANG=DISANG*
*
*
Here is also the thermalization input file, which is the next step in my
equilibration protocol. I'm attaching this here because for this file, the
flag nmropt=1 was already set, and I'm wondering if adding the DISANG
variable will mess anything up in this file:

* &cntrl*
* imin=0, ntx=1, ntpr=500, ntwr=500,*
* nscm=5000,*
* ntf=2, ntc=2,*
* ntb=1, ntp=0,*
* nstlim=50000, t=0.0, dt=0.002,*
* cut=9.0,*
* tempi=100.0, ntt=1,*
* ntr=1, nmropt=1*
* &end*
*Heating from 100 to 300 K*
* &wt type='TEMP0', istep1=0, istep2=5000, value1=100.0, value2=300.0,
 &end*
* &wt type='TEMP0', istep1=5001, istep2=50000, value1=300.0, value2=300.0,
 &end*
* &wt type='END', &end*
*Group input for DNA restraints: 25 kcal/mol.*
* 25.0*
*RES 1 73*
*END*
*END*
*DISANG=DISANG*
*
*
Here again is the DISANG file:

*&wt type = 'END', &end

 &rst
  iresid=1, iat = 2,37, atnam(1)='N6', atnam(2)='N3',
   r1=0.0, r2=2.7, r3=3.2, r4=16.0, rk2=50.0, rk3=100.0,
 &end

&rst
     iat=0,
 &end*
*
*
and finally, here is the error I've been getting (just to put everything in
one email):

* ----- READING GROUP 1; TITLE:
 *************************************************************************

     rfree: Error decoding variable 1 3 from:
*****************************

     this indicates that your input contains

      incorrect information

     field 1 was supposed to

      have a (1=character, 2=integer, 3=decimal) value
*
*
*
Sorry for the long email, and thanks again, Jason,

Kamali
