Re: [AMBER] PMF for 2 Arginines

Hi Nihal,

Can you elaborate on your "problems"? What exactly isn't happening as
expected? Is AMBER giving an error or is the dynamics just not as you
expected?

That being said, your restraints look a bit unusual to me. Did you intend
these to be harmonic? If so, your values for r1 and r4 seem like
potentially poor choices. I assume you've read the manual describing the
flat bottom well restraint form employed by nmropt. Also, did you mean for
the dihedral force constants to be different?

Regards,
Brian
