Re: [AMBER] solid surface simulation in amber

I prepared the supercell based on the AMBER tutorial

I have a unit cell with the box information
I tried the following
$AMBERHOME/bin/PropPDB -p unit.pdb -o supercell.pdb -ix 15 -iy 15 -iz 4

To check for the structure or overlaps I issued following command in
cpptraj script

trajin supercell.pdb
checkoverlap reportfile report.dat

Alternatively I also performed check command after loading supercell.pdb in
the tleap file.

No information on steric clashes/overlaps were reported. I also visulaised
the structure in Discovery studio and no clashes/overlaps were found.

I tested a smaller cell 2x2x2 using same method above and I manually
increase the box size in the inpcrd file as compared to the one assigned by
tleap. This successfully finished minimization. I will try changing box
size of supercell tomorrow and see if it can successfully run.

Cheers,
Neha
