Dear users,
In constant velocity steered MD simulation, we usually attach a dummy atom
to our atom of interest (from where we want to pull the molecule
generally)..this seems to be suggested in tutorials also..
I have come across many papers in which people, however, have applied
forces directly to the atom in the molecule of interest without attaching a
dummy atom physically.
My doubt is, how important is it to attach a dummy atom at all in such
simulations? Does it hold any physical meaning? Will the simulation show
any artefacts if i apply a desired force directly, say at 5' ends of DNA?
Thank you
Asmita
