Dear Amber community,
I am trying to reach a better understanding of the RESP procedure.
In particular, I am interested in multiconformations RESP fitting.
I have followed the explanations of the tutorial (
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial1/section1.htm)
and adapted it to my problem (modified alanine dipeptide).
The programs are running well and after a few corrections of inputs, I get results that seem very reasonable.
My concern is about the theory behind.
I understood (by trying) that the way in which the different conformations are taken into account is not a simple average.
Then, I tried to vary the weight of each conformation (say confA and confB).
To my surprise, when setting the weight of confB to zero, I get a (very) different result than when I do a RESP fitting on confA only.
I might have miss one equation, but I could not find where the weighting factors are used.
I would greatly appreciate some directions to understand this matter.
Another question:
Would a simple average of the atomic charges (weighted or not) be also acceptable to account for both conformations?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Antoine MARION
